The xanthan-degrading bacterium Paenibacillus alginolyticus XL-1, isolated from soil, degrades approximately 28% of the xanthan molecule and appears to leave the backbone intact. Several xanthan-degrading enzymes were excreted during growth on xanthan, including xanthan lyase. Xanthan lyase production was induced by xanthan and inhibited by glucose and low-molecular-weight enzymatic degradation products from xanthan. A xanthan lyase with a molecular mass of 85 kDa and a pI of 7.9 was purified and characterized. The enzyme is specific for pyruvated mannosyl side chain residues and optimally active at pH 6.0 and 55 degrees C.
从土壤中分离得到的解黄原胶细菌溶藻芽孢杆菌XL-1可降解约28%的黄原胶分子,且似乎能使主链保持完整。在以黄原胶为生长底物的过程中,该细菌分泌了几种解黄原胶酶,包括黄原胶裂解酶。黄原胶可诱导黄原胶裂解酶的产生,而葡萄糖和黄原胶的低分子量酶促降解产物则对其产生抑制作用。一种分子量为85 kDa、等电点为7.9的黄原胶裂解酶被纯化并进行了表征。该酶对丙酮酸化甘露糖基侧链残基具有特异性,在pH 6.0和55℃时活性最佳。
