The Aspergillus aculeatus b-glucosidase 1 (bgl1) gene was expressed in a lactic-acid-producing Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain to enable lactic fermentation with cellobiose. The recombinant b-glucosidase enzyme was expressed on the yeast cell surface by fusing the mature protein to the C-terminal ha...
