چکیده

We cloned and expressed two genes encoding azoreductase homologes, AzrB and AzrC, from Bacillus sp. B29. Purified recombinant AzrB and AzrC were homodimers with 23 kDa identical subunits, and were flavoproteins. NADH was preferred as electron donors for both azoreductases. The azoreductases showed optimal activities at 70 degrees C (AzrB) and 55 degrees C (AzrC), and retained activities up to 55 degrees C (AzrB) and 50 degrees C (AzrC) after incubation for 1 h. Other enzymatic properties, including the substrate specificities of both azoreductases, were also investigated.

Expression and characterization of the genes encoding azoreductases from Bacillus subtilis and Geobacillus stearothermophilus.

Azoreductases have been characterized as enzymes that can decolorize azo dyes by reducing azo groups. In this study, genes encoding proteins having homology with the azoreductase gene of Bacillus sp. OY1-2 were obtained from Bacillus subtilis ATCC6633, B. subtilis ISW1214, and Geobacillus stearotherophilus IFO13737 by polymerase chain reaction. All three genes encoded proteins with 174 amino ac...

Isolation and Characterization of Thermophilic Alkaline Proteases Resistant to Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate and Ethylene Diamine Tetraacetic Acid from Bacillus sp. GUS1

Thermophilic Bacillus sp. GUS1, isolated from  a soil  sample obtained from citrus garden, produced at least three proteases as detected by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and zymogram analysis. The enzymes were stable in the alkaline pH range (8.0-12.0), with the optimum temperature and pH range of the proteases being 70ºC and 6.0-12.0, respectively. All th...
