I wanted to analyze the rate of enzymatic saccharification in my pretreated biomass my usual vendor is having some issues with delivery due to COVID 19. So, I usually buy from MP Biomedicals. Since that is going to set back my work even further, I decided to look for other options and found the pricing to be unbelievably high. Just wanted to know if such crazy high pricing is normal for beta-glucosidase used in biofuel production. Maybe I am looking at the wrong options. Please let me know there are other affordable options from beta-glucosidase purchase.
Thanks in advance.
Beta-glucosidase is not yet chemically synthesized and is therefore made available through the rigors of microbial fermentations with the usual HIGH PRODUCTION ECONOMICS that attend all microbially-directed productions. It just has be expensive if the industries that go into its manufacture are to stay in business.
@Maurice Ekpenyong, Thank you, sir. That makes it clear. I wonder how industrial scale production of bioethanol from biomass can be economical at these costs.
Beta-glucosidase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the glycogen bonds to terminal non-reducing residues in beta-D-glucose and oligonucleotides.
Hi Najya,
You may make an inquiry at Alfa Chemistry, they offer kinds of good-quality beta glucosidase with reasonable price.
