Aspergillus niger SFN-416으로부터 생산한 $\beta$-Glucosidase의 정제 및 특성

$\beta $-Glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.21) was purified from Aspergillus niger SFN-416 by a sequential process of ammonium sulfate precipitation, Sepadex G-100 and DEAE-Sephacel column chromatography. Molecular weight of the enzyme was 46, 000 daltons. The K$_{m}$ and V$_{max}$ values for PNPG were 0.67 mM and 25 moles/ml $\cdot $min., respectively. The optimum pH and temperature of the enzyme activity were 3.5 and 58$\circ $C, respectively. The enzyme activity was decreased by addition of metal ions, and increased by addition of metanol, ethanol, isopropanol and 1-butanol at a concentration of 10% (v/v). Stability of the enzyme was increased by addition of isopropanol and 1-butanol at a concentration of 10% (v/v).
