Abstract:  The β-glucosidase was purified to homogeneity by fractional ammonium sulphate precipitation, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-52 and SephadexG-100 gel-filtration chromatography. By SDS-PAGE, the molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 60kDa. The enzyme exhibited optimum activity at 40℃ and pH6.0. Its activity maintained relatively stable under the condition at 45℃, pH4.5~7.0, and strongly inhibited by Hg2+, Ag+.

Key words:  , lactic acid bacterium; &beta, -glucosidase; purification; enzymic hydrolysis;
