The invention relates to a method for immobilizing beta-
glucosidase and hydrolyzing
straw cellulose by cooperating the beta-
glucosidase with
cellulase, belonging to the technical field of
biocatalysis. The method provided by the invention comprises the following steps of: (1) dissolving
chitosan into a propionic acid solution to form a transparent and homogeneous
colloid, mixing and stirring the
colloid with Fe3O4 grains, dropwise adding a NaOH solution to obtain magnetic microspheres, and carrying out crosslinking on the magnetic microspheres in a
glutaraldehyde solution to obtain an immobilized carrier; (2) adding the immobilized carrier into a beta-
glucosidase solution for adsorption to obtain a magnetic immobilized beta-glucosidase, hydrolyzing a
cellobiose substrate by using the magnetic immobilized beta-glucosidase, and measuring the
enzyme activity of the magnetic immobilized beta-glucosidase; and (3) degrading maize straws by coordinating the magnetic immobilized beta-glucosidase with the
cellulase. The immobilized beta-glucosidase prepared by the method has the characteristics of homogeneous shape, large specific surface area, high
mechanical strength, high
enzyme activity and easiness in
recovery; and the immobilized beta-glucosidase can hydrolyze the
straw cellulose by coordinating with the
cellulase to increase the yield of hydrolyzed
sugar, and the stability in repeated use is good, so that the cost for the
enzymatic hydrolysis of the
straw cellulose can be lowered.
