Production of β-glucosidase withAspergillus phoenicis QM329 in aqueous two-phase systems

  • Published:
Biotechnology Techniques

Summary

The production of β-glucosidase withAspergillus phoenicis QM 329 was studied in two different aqueous two-phase systems: polyethylene glycol (PEG) 1550 7.5%/Dextran T2000 9.5% and PEG 8000 4%/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) 14000 8%. The enzyme concentrations in the top phase of the phase systems were 3.4 IU/ml and 3.2 IU/ml, respectively, compared with 2.0 IU/ml obtained in a regular medium. The total amount of β-glucosidase obtained in the phase systems was 265 IU and 176 IU, respectively, compared with 200 IU in a regular medium.
