Alkalophilic, nylon oligomer-degrading strains, Agromyces sp. and Kocuria sp., were isolated from the wastewater of a nylon-6 factory and from activated sludge from a sewage disposal plant. The 6-aminohexanoate oligomer hydrolases (NylC) from the alkalophilic strains had 95.8 to 98.6% similarity to the enzyme in neutrophilic Arthrobacter sp. but had superior thermostability, activity under alkaline conditions, and affinity for nylon-related substrates, which would be advantageous for biotechnological applications.
嗜碱的、能降解尼龙低聚物的菌株,即土壤杆菌属(Agromyces sp.)和考克氏菌属(Kocuria sp.),是从一家尼龙6工厂的废水以及污水处理厂的活性污泥中分离出来的。来自嗜碱菌株的6-氨基己酸低聚物水解酶(NylC)与嗜中性节杆菌属(Arthrobacter sp.)中的酶具有95.8%至98.6%的相似性,但具有更高的热稳定性、在碱性条件下的活性以及对尼龙相关底物的亲和力,这对于生物技术应用将是有利的。
