Mb. Fadda et al., A HIGHLY-ACTIVE FUNGAL BETA-GLUCOSIDASE - PURIFICATION AND PROPERTIES, Applied biochemistry and biotechnology, 44(3), 1994, pp. 263-270
A highly active thermostable beta-glucosidase was purified to homogene
ity from a strain of Trichoderma sp. The enzyme was an extracellular g
lycoprotein and showed hydrolytic activity toward several beta-glucosi
des. Cellobiose was found to be the substrate of choice for this enzym
e. This finding could suggest future technological applications of the
purified protein.
