Abstract

The culture filtrate of thermophilic alkalophilic Bacillus K17 strain contained two types of xylanases were purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAD-Sephadex A-50 column chromatography, CM-Sephadex C-50 column chromatography and Sephadex G-100 gel filtration. The purified enzymes were found to be homogeneous by sodium dodecyl sulfate and disc polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Xylanase I and II were characterized with respect to molecular weight, optimal temperature and pH, thermal and pH stability, and Michaelis constant. Xylanase II was more active and stable, and showed greater substrate affinity and molecular weight than xylanase I. The activities of xylanases I and II were inhibited by Cu$^{++}$, Ag$^+$, Hg$^{++}$ and Fe$^{++}$. Xylanase I hydrolyzed xylan to yield xylobiose and higher amount of xylooligosaccharides, but xylanase II produced xylose other than xylobiose and xylooligosacchrides.

고온, 알칼리성 Bacillus K17이 생성하는 extracellular xylanase를 각종 resin으로 정제하여 비흡착 분획에서 xylanase I과 흡착 분획에서 xylanase II를 분리정제하였고, SDS-Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis에 의하여 분자량을 측정하였던바 xylanase I은 23,000, xylanase II는 47,000으로 추정되었다. Xylanase I 및 II는 최적온도, 최적 pH, 열 안정성, pH 안정성, 기질 친화력에서 차이가 있었으며 Cu$^{++}$, Ag$^+$, Fe$^{++}$, Hg$^{++}$에 의해 다같이 저해되었다. Xylanase I은 xylan을 Xylobiose, xylotriose, xylotetraose로 분해시키며 그 분해율이 22%로 나타났다. 그리고 xylanase II xylose, xylobiose, xylotriose로 분해시키며 그 분해율이 30%이었다. 효소적 분석은 효소가 갖는 기질특이성으로 인해 다성분계의 분석재료로부터 측정한 성분만을 정량 가능하므로 생체성분의 분석에 널리 활용되고 있다.
