“…Cellobiohydrolases appear to play no role in the initial digestion of cellulose by termites and wood-eating cockroaches (Watanabe and Tokuda, 2010); cellulolytic systems from these insects consist of multiple endo--1,4-glucanases and -glucosidases (Genta et al, 2003;Schulz et al, 1986;Scrivener and Slaytor, 1994;Slaytor, 1992;Tokuda et al, 1999). Other invertebrate endo--1,4-glucanases are known to produce cellobiose, cellotriose and cellotetraose (Watanabe and Tokuda, 2010;Xu and Distel, 2004), whereas partially purified -glucosidases from other species are able to hydrolyse cellotriose, cellotetraose and cellopentaose (Ferreira et al, 2001;Ferreira et al, 2003;Marana et al, 2000). It is possible that the cellulase system from these animals employs a similar mechanism to that of G. natalis.…”

“…In Athalia rosae, there are three isoforms of β-glucosidase in the alimentary canal and two isoforms in the haemolymph (our unpublished data). Ferreira et al (2003) reported that the midgut of the yellow mealworm Tenebrio molitor L. (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) larvae possesses four β-glycosidases. Three β-glycosidases, named βGly1, βGly2 and βGly3, were isolated from midgut tissues of the sugar cane borer, D. saccharalis (Azevedo et al 2003).…”

“…A especificidade das β-glicosidases pode variar, com algumas enzimas sendo capazes de utilizar uma gama enorme de substratos e outras utilizando poucos tipos de compostos (ver Ferreira et al, 1998;Ferreira et al, 2001Ferreira et al, ,2003Azevedo et al, 2003). ; Spodoptera frugiperda, um Lepidoptera com duas β-glicosidases diferentes (Marana et al, 2000) e Diatraea saccharalis, outro Lepidóptera, possui três diferentes β-glicosidases no seu tubo digestivo (Azevedo et al, 2003).…”
