This study reports the purification
and characterization of β-glucosidase from a newly isolated thermophilic
fungus, Melanocarpus sp. Microbial Type Culture Collection
(MTCC) 3922. The molecular weight of β-glucosidase was determined
to be ~ 92 and 102 kDa with SDS PAGE and gel filtration, respectively,
and pI of ~ 4.1. It was optimally active at |
