Abstract: To express β-glucosidase from Stachybotrys chartarum using Aspergillus niger G1 as host. Through genome sequencing and analysis, the β-glucosidase gene(g10158)was isolated from the genome of Stachybotrys chartarum through PCR. The coding region of the gene was inserted to the vector pGm. The expression plasmid was transformed into A. niger G1 strain. An β-glucosidase producing strain(G1-pGm-g10158-13)were selected after screening several transformants using amdS selection plates and confirmed by PCR validation. Results showed that the molecular mass of the enzyme was 87.9 kD by SDS-PAGE gel analysis. Our results indicated that the recombinant enzyme exhibited optimum activity at pH4.8 and 50℃. The β-glucosidase activity was 1 856.48 U/mL under the optimized conditions. The β-glucosidase from Stachybotrys chartarum was expressed in A. niger G1 strain and it was proved to have a high activity.
