An extracellular agarase from marine bacterium Stenotrophomonas sp. NTa was purified to homogeneity. By size exclusion chromatography and SDS-PAGE analysis, the enzyme was determined to be a homodimer with monomeric molecular mass of 89.0 kDa. The optimal temperature and pH of strain NTa agarase were 40 °C and 10.0, respectively. It exhibited striking stability across a wide pH range of 5.0-11.0. Agarase from Stenotrophomonas sp. NTa had a relatively good resistance against the detected inhibitors, detergents and urea denaturant. The Km and Vmax for agar were 11.3mg/ml and 25.4 U/mg, respectively. Thin layer chromatography analysis, mass spectrometry, and enzyme assay using p-nitrophenyl-α/β-D-galactopyranoside revealed that strain NTa agarase was a β-agarase that degraded agarose into neoagarobiose, neoagarotetraose and neoagarohexaose as the predominant products, as well as a small amount of 3,6-anhydro-α-L-galactose. This is the first to present evidence of agarolytic activity in strain from genus Stenotrophomonas.
从海洋细菌嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌NTa中纯化出一种胞外琼脂酶,使其达到同质。通过尺寸排阻色谱和SDS-PAGE分析,确定该酶为同型二聚体,单体分子量为89.0 kDa。菌株NTa琼脂酶的最适温度和pH分别为40℃和10.0。它在5.0-11.0的宽pH范围内表现出显著的稳定性。嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌NTa的琼脂酶对检测到的抑制剂、去污剂和尿素变性剂具有相对较好的抗性。琼脂的Km和Vmax分别为11.3mg/ml和25.4 U/mg。薄层色谱分析、质谱分析以及使用对硝基苯基-α/β-D-吡喃半乳糖苷的酶活性测定表明,菌株NTa琼脂酶是一种β-琼脂酶,它将琼脂糖降解为新琼脂二糖、新琼脂四糖和新琼脂六糖作为主要产物,以及少量的3,6-脱水-α-L-半乳糖。这是首次报道嗜麦芽窄食单胞菌属菌株具有琼脂分解活性的证据。
