Phytases are a group of enzymes that catalyze phytic acid hydrolysis with release of phosphorus (P). The ability of Chromobacterium sp. to produce phytase was detected in 115 out of 118 candidate bacteria isolated from different Brazilian biomas. This is the first report revealing the genus Chromobacterium as phytase producer.
植酸酶是一组能够催化植酸水解并释放磷(P)的酶。从巴西不同生物群中分离的 118 株候选细菌中,有 115 株能够产生植酸酶。这是首次报道发现色杆菌属能够产生植酸酶。
