Biochemical studies on immobilized fungal β-glucosidase

β-Glucosidase from Aspergillus niger was immobilized on sponge by covalent binding through a spacer group (glutaraldehyde). Sponge-immobilized enzyme had the highest immobilization yield (95.67%) and retained 63.66% of the original activity exhibited by the free enzyme. The optimum pH of the immobil...
