Abstract

A thermostable inulinase was identified in a strain of A. niger. The highest activity was observed at 50 °C (50 Lml−1) and 77% and 34% of this was retained at 60° and 65°C, respectively. pH stability, the effect of thermal stabilizers such as Propylene glycol (10%) and Sorbitol (10%) and effects of different cations were investigated. It was found that the activity was completely inhibited by Ag+ and Hg2+, while Na+ had an activator effect.
