Purification and characterization of ß-glucosidase from Melanocarpus sp. MTCC 3922

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