Abstract: Using ammonium sulfate precipitation, ultrafiltration desalination, ion-exchange and gel filtration column chromatography, a β-xylosidase with molecular weight of 110.8 ku and specific activity of 61.99 IU/mg was purified to homogeneity from culture xylanase solution of Trichoderma reesei Rut C-30. Results of enzymatic properties showed that the optimal reaction condition of the enzyme was: pH value of 3.5; reaction temperature of 60 ℃. The enzyme was stable below 60 ℃ and pH value ranges from 3.0 to 8.0. It had a Km value of 0.29 μmol/mL and Vmax value of 169.99 IU/mg by using p-nitrophenyl-β-D-xylopyranoside as the substrate. Results of enzymatic hydrolysis mechanism indicated that β-xylosidase released xylose from non-reducing ends of xylooligosaccharides by cutting off β-1,4-glycosidic bond. The optimum substrate of β-xylosidase was short-chain xylooligosaccharides. With chain length of xylooligosaccharides increased, the enzyme hydrolysis efficiency decreased gradually and xylan was hardly to be degraded.

Key words: Trichoderma reesei, β-xylosidase, purification, enzymatic hydrolysis
