Table 1.

β-Glucosidase activity of cell-free extracts of Lactobacillus spp. and Bifidobacterium spp.

β-Glucosidase activitya
B. infantis 17.4 ± 0.5b
B. bifidum 0.6 ± 0.002c
L. plantarum 1.3 ± 0.008d
L. casei 1.5 ± 0.02d
L. acidophilus 1.6 ± 0.02d

aβ-Glucosidase activity was expressed as units/mg protein. One unit was defined as the amount of p-nitrophenol released from p-NPG under the enzyme assay conditions, per ml per min

b–dValues (mean ± SD) with different superscript letters are significantly different (p < 0.05), n = 3
