BIOSYNTHESIS OF -GLOCOSIDASE PENICILLIUM EXPANSUM
Keywords:
Sugarcane bagasse, leaves; Penicillium expansum, enzyme, ß-glucosidaseAbstract
Sugarcane bagasse and leaves were utilized after treatment with 0.6N NaOH and KOH as a substrate for the growth of Penicillium expansum and the production of -glucosidase. It was observed from the results that maximum yield (4750 units/ml) of -glucosidase was achieved at 240 hrs when 0.6N NaOH treated sugarcane bagasse was used as carbon source
