Abstract
The invention provides variants of the Azospirillum irakense CelA β-glucosidase that have improve β-glucosidase activity, particularly improved thermoactivity, compared to the wild type enzyme. The invention further provides related polynucleotides, vectors, host cell, and methods for making and using the variants.
