Properties of the Extracellular Protein Produced by Bacillus sp. $T_2-3$

Bacillus sp. $T_2-3$가 생산한 균체외 단백질의 성질

Extracellular protein produced by Bacillus sp. $T_2-3$ was characterized for its patterns of sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and sephadex G-100 filtration, spectrum of maximum absorption, composition of amino acid and solubility to solvents. The extracellular protein was composed of two kinds of protein which was little difference in molecular weight about 49,000. Maximum absorbance of the extracellular protein was showed at 230nm and main amino acids of the extracellular protein were aspartic acid, glutamic acid and alanine. Solubility of the extracellular protein was 55.8% in $H_2O$ and 28.4% in 0.4% NaOH.

Chemically defined medium을 사용하여 Bacillus sp. $T_2-3$으로 균체외단백질을 생산한 후 이들의 각종 물리화학적 성질을 조사 하였다. 균체외단백질은 전기영동과 gel 여과 결과로 분자량이 약 49,000이 되는 비슷한 2종의 단백질로 구성되어 있었다. 최대흡수파장은 230nm 부근이었으며 aspartic acid를 가장 많이 함유하고 있었다. 또한 균체외단백질의 물에대한 용해도는 55.8%, 0.4% NaOH에 대한 용해도는 28.4%로 albumin과 glutelin계통의 단백질로 생각되었다.
