An endo-1,5-.ALPHA.-L-arabinase, which can disintegrate potato tissue.

Year: 1983

Type: article

Abstract: An endo-l,5-a-L-arabinase [EC 3.2.1.99]has been highly purified from the culture fluid of Bacillus subtilis IFO 3022 grown on a mediumcontaining beet pulp extract.The molecular weight of the enzyme was 33,000 by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.The purified enzyme was active on 1 ,5-arabinan, and inactive on /7-nitrophenyl a-L-arabinofuranoside.The optimum pH was 6.0.The enzyme was inhibited by Hg2 +, but not by L-arabonic-y-lactone.The purified enzyme was able to loosen potato tissue.
