PURIFICATION AND BIOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF AN EXTRACELLULAR LIPASE PRODUCED BY A NEW STRAIN OF Rhizopus sp
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present study had as a goal to purify and characterize the lipolytic fraction secreted by a strain of Rhizopus sp. Only 3 steps of purification were necessary to achieve SDS-PAGE homogeneity. One band with 37.5 KDa molecular mass and with 1446 U/ mg specific activity was obtained. The purified fraction presented 2 lipase isoforms; both showed optimum activity at 50oC, and were stable between 6.5 and 7.5 pH values and at temperatures below 50oC and also kept their activity in hexane. The lipase was inactivated by Hg and by n-bromosuccinimide and activated by Na.

Halobacterium are salt loving microorganism, which thrives in the salt lake, and seawater where there is an elevated salt concentration. They have the capacity to balance the osmotic effect of the outside environment and resist against the dehydrating effects of the salts. Their novel characteristics and capacity for large scale culturing make Halobacterium potentially valuable for biotechnolog...
