For biotechnological production of high-valued ${\beta}-{\text\tiny{D}}$-hexyl glucoside, the catalytic properties of Hanseniaspora thailandica BC9 ${\beta}$-glucosidase purified from the periplasmic fraction were studied, and the transglycosylation activity for the production of ${\beta}-{\text\tiny{D}}$-hexyl glucoside was optimized. The constitutive BC9 ${\beta}$-glucosidase exhibited maximum specific activity at pH 6.0 and $40^{\circ}C$, and the activity of BC9 ${\beta}$-glucosidase was not significantly inhibited by various metal ions. BC9 ${\beta}$-glucosidase did not show a significant activity of cellobiose hydrolysis, but the activity was rather enhanced in the presence of sucrose and medium-chain alcohols. BC9 ${\beta}$-glucosidase exhibited enhanced production of ${\beta}-{\text\tiny{D}}$-hexyl glucoside in the presence of DMSO, and 62% of ${\beta}-{\text\tiny{D}}$-hexyl glucoside conversion was recorded in 4 h in the presence of 5% 1-hexanol and 15% DMSO.
