Catalytic and thermodynamic properties of β-glucosidases produced by Lichtheimia corymbifera and Byssochlamys spectabilis.

The objective of the present study was to optimize parameters for the cultivation of Lichtheimia corymbifera (mesophilic) and Byssochlamys spectabilis (thermophilic) for the production of β-glucosidases and to compare the catalytic and thermodynamic properties of the partially purified enzymes. The maximum amount of β-glucosidase produced by L. corymbifera was 39 U/g dry substrate (or 3.

Biochemical characterization and evaluation of invertases produced from Saccharomyces cerevisiae CAT-1 and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa for the production of fructooligosaccharides.

Invertases are used for several purposes; one among these is the production of fructooligosaccharides. The aim of this study was to biochemically characterize invertase from industrial Saccharomyces cerevisiae CAT-1 and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa isolated from Cerrado soil. The optimum pH and temperature were 4.
