| Abstract | Two glucose oxidase (GOX) isoforms where purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from the mycelium extract (GOX$_{I}$) and the extracellular medium (GOX$_{II}$) of Aspergillus niger BTL cultures. Both enzymes were found to be homodimers with nonreduced molecular masses of 148 and 159 kDa and pI values of 3.7 and 3.6 for GOX$_{I}$ and GOX$_{II}$, respectively. The substrate specificity and the kinetic characteristics of the two GOX forms, as expressed through their apparent K $_{m}$ values on glucose, as well as pH and T activity optima, were almost identical. The only structural difference between the two enzymes was in their degrees of glycosylation, which were determined equal to 14.1 and 20.8% (w/w) of their molecular masses for GOX$_{I}$ and GOX$_{II}$, respectively. The above difference in the carbohydrate content between the two enzymes seems to influence their pH and thermal stabilities. GOX$_{II}$ proved to be more stable than GOX$_{I}$ at pH values 2.5, 3.0, 8.0, and 9.0. Half-lives of GOX$_{I}$ at pH 3.0 and 8.0 were 8.9 and 17.5 h, respectively, whereas the corresponding values for GOX$_{II}$ were 13.5 and 28.1 h. As far as the thermal stability is concerned, GOX$_{II}$ was also more thermostable than GOX$_{I}$ as judged by the deactivation constants determined at various temperatures. More specifically, the half-lives of GOX$_{I}$ and GOX$_{II}$, at 45°C, were 12 and 49 h, respectively. These results suggest A. niger BTL probably possesses a secondary glycosylation mechanism that increases the stability of the excreted GOX. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
