Partial purification and characterization of lipoxygenase‐like enzyme from Pseudomonas aeruginosa 2HSP

Purification and characterization of a staphylolytic enzyme from Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

A strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been shown to produce an enzyme that lyses viable cells of Staphylococcus aureus. The maximal yield of the enzyme was obtained from shake flask cultures of P. aeruginosa which were grown for 18 to 22 hr at 37 C in Trypticase Soy Broth. A 333-fold purification of the enzyme was obtained by acetone precipitation of the culture liquor, followed by column chro...

Purification and characterization of extracellular Pseudomonas aeruginosa urate oxidase enzyme.

Urate oxidase (uricase) was isolated and purified from Pseudomonas aeruginosa to apparent homogeneity using ammonium sulphate precipitation followed by ion exchange and gel filtration chromatography. The specific activity of the purified uricase enzyme was found to be 636.36 with the use of uric acid as a substrate. The purified uricase enzyme is a monomeric protein with molecular weight of 64 ...

Purification and Characterization of Alginate Lyase from Mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strain 214

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that causes a variety of infections in compromised patients. The ability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to produce chronic infection is based in part on its ability to biosynthesis of biofilm, and alginate is the major polysaccharide in the synthesized biofilm. So alginate degradation is very essential in the dispersion of Pseudomonas aeruginosa bi...

Purification and characterization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin.

A trypsin-sensitive, heat-labile exotoxin of Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain P-A-103 has been purified by a procedure that includes membrane ultrafiltration, hydroxylapatite chromatography, ion-exchange cellulose chromatography, and gel filtration chromatography. The procedure resulted in the recovery of 48% of the exotoxin with a 40-fold increase in specific activity (micrograms of protein per m...
