一组厌氧真菌菌系产阿魏酸酯酶的初步研究

利用玉米秸秆粉为唯一碳源的筛选培养基,从肉牛瘤胃液中筛选构建了一组厌氧真菌菌系,研究了该菌系产阿魏酸酯酶的特征.阿魏酸酯酶的最适pH为8.0,最适温度为40℃,最高酶活力为19.1 mU/mL,在pH 6.0 ～8.0及35～45℃之间,酶活性保持相对稳定.Mg2+对酶活力具有激活作用,Fe2、Cu2+、Fe3+等均抑制酶活力.     

Purification and Characterization of a Feruloylesterase from Aspergillus awamori

A feruloylesterase was purified from the extracellular broth of Aspergillus awamori grown on wheat bran culture. The purified enzyme gave a single band on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing, with an apparent M _r of 35,000 and a pI of 3.8, respectively. The substrate specificity of the purified enzyme differed obviously from that of acetylesterase of A. awamori. The enzyme bound to microcrystalline cellulose.
