Protoplasts of Aspergillus oryzae 3.481 and Aspergillus niger 3.316 were prepared using cellulose and snail enzyme with 0.6 M NaCl as osmotic stabilizer. Protoplast fusion has been performed using 35% polyethylene glycol 4,000 with 0.01 mM CaCl₂. The fused protoplasts have been regenerated on regeneration medium and fusants were selected for further studies. An intracellular (β-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.21) was purified from the protoplast fusant of Aspergillus oryzae 3.481 and Aspergillus niger 3.316 and characterized. The enzyme was purified 138.85-fold by ammonium sulphate precipitation, DE-22 ion exchange and Sephadex G-150 gel filtration chromatography with a specific activity of 297.14 U/mg of protein. The molecular mass of the purified enzyme was determined to be about 125 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The enzyme had an optimum pH of 5.4 and temperature of 65°C, respectively. This enzyme showed relatively high stability against pH and temperature and was stable in the pH range of 3.0-6.6. Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺ and EDTA completely inhibited the enzyme activity at a concentration of 10 mM. The enzyme activity was accelerated by Fe³⁺. The enzyme activity was strongly inhibited by glucose, the end product of glucoside hydrolysis. The K m and V max values against salicin as substrate were 0.035 mM and 1.7215 μmol min⁻¹, respectively.
