| Abstract: | The enzymatic hydrolysis of cellobiose, an important intermediate of the decomposition of cellulose containing materials, with immobilized β-glucosidase preparations from Geotrichium candidum, Trichoderma lignorum and Aspergillus foetidus was examined At first it was the aim to prepare from differently purified samples with different specific cellobiase activities high active preparations on the basis of the inorganic carrier Silochrom S-80. Characteristics e.g. thermal stability and temperature and pH optimum of immobilized preparations were compared with those of soluble preparations Kinetics of cellobiose hydrolysis by immobilized enzyme preparations were studied. |
