AS-560-W Phytase: Basics of Enzyme Function
نویسنده
چکیده
Animal Sciences Introduction The primary constituents of diets for poultry and swine are plant-based ingredients which come primarily from the seeds of plants. Most of the stored phosphorus in plants is found in seeds mainly as a component of a molecule called phytin. Phytin-phosphorus is poorly available to poultry and swine, and this availability varies both within and among ingredients. The enzyme phytase releases phosphate groups from phytin potentially making this released phosphorus available to the animal. Phytase is the only recognized enzyme that can initiate the release of phosphate from phytin (IUB, 1979).

Cloning and optimization of phytase enzyme gene expression in Escherichia coli
Introduction Phytase is an enzyme that has the ability to break down phytic acid into myoinositol and mineral phosphate, and widely uses as an additive in animal foods. The aim of this study was to achieve a high level of bacterial phytase expression in PET26b expression host. Materials and Methods To generate the recombinant phytase enzyme, the target gene was introduced into the expression ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Phytase Enzyme on the Performance of Broiler Flock (A-Review)
From the last few years, the inclusion of microbial phytase in poultry diets has increased significantly, mainly in response to heightened concerns over phosphorus pollution of the environment and as cheaper means to make phosphorus available to birds from phytate. Phytate is the major form of phosphorus, abundantly found in cereal grains, beans and oilseed meals used in poultry diet but the mo...
متن کاملCloning, Codon Optimization, and Expression of Yersinia intermedia Phytase Gene in E. coli
Background: Phytate is an anti-nutritional factor in plants, which catches the most phosphorus contents and some vital minerals. Therefore, Phytase is added mainly as an additive to the monogastric animals’ foods to hydrolyze phytate and increase absorption of phosphorus. Objectives: Y. intermedia phytase is a new phytase with special characteristics such as high specific activity, pH stabilit...

Microbial phytases were applied mainly to animal and human foodstuffs in order to improvemineral bioavailability and food processing. In addition, phytases have potentialbiotechnological application in various other fields, such as environmental protection,aquaculture and agriculture. Bacillus sp. DM12, an isolate from a hot spring, produces phytase,which catalyzes the hydrolysis of phytic acid...
