Candida sp. L-16 균주가 생산하는 D-xylulokinase는 배양균체를 초음파 파쇄한 조효소액으로 하여 황산암모늄 염석, DEAE-cellulose, chromatography, Sephadex G-100과 Sephadex G-200 gel filtration 과정으로 정제하여 최종 수율 11.2%로 약 23.2배 정제하였다. 정제 효소의 분자량은 SDS-PAGE로 분석한 결과 분자량은 75,000 dalton으로, Sephadex G-200겔 여과에 의해 150,000 dalton으로 나타나 dimer로 확인되었다. 효소 활성에 미치는 최적 반응 온도는 4$0^{\circ}C$로 나타났고, 온도안정성은 비교적 불안정하여 3$0^{\circ}C$이상에서는 빠르게 실활되었다. 정제 효소의 최적 반응 pH는 pH 8.0이었고, pH 7.0에서 pH 9.0 사이에서 비교적 효소활성이 높았다. 본 효소는 D-xylulose, D-arabinose, D-ribose등에서는 높은 기질특이성을 가지고 있었으나 D-xylose, D-glucose, L-arabinose 등은 기질로서 작용하지 못하였다. 정제 효소의 활성화 에너지값(Ea)은 $25^{\circ}C$ 내지 4$0^{\circ}C$$^{\circ}C$의 온도 범위에서 4.75kcal/mol이었다. 효소의 활성화제로는 EDTA, cysteine-HCl, DTT, glutathione 등이 존재하며 억제제로는 6-phosphogluconic acid, 2-koeto-gluconic acid 등으로 나타났다.

Bacillus stearotheymophilus, a potent xylanolytic bacterium isolated from soil, was tested for the strain's strategies of pentose utilization and the evidence of substrate preferences. The strain metabolized glucose, xylose, ribose, maltose, cellobiose, sucrose, arabinose and xylitol. The efficacy of the sugars as a carbon and energy source in this strain was of the order named above. The organism, however, could not grow on glycerol as a sole growth substrate. During cultivation on a mixture of glucose and xylose or arabinose, the major hydrolytic products of xylan, B. stearothermophilus displayed classical diauxic growth in which glucose was utilized during the first phase. On the other hand, the pentose utilization was prevented immediately upon addition of glucose. Cellobiose was preferred over xylose or arabinose. In contrast, maltose and pentose were co-utilized, and also no preference on between xylose and arabinose. Enzymatic studies indicated that B. stearothermophilus possessed constitutive hexokinase, a key enzyme of the glucose metabolic system. While, the production of $^{D}$-xylose isomerase, $^{D}$-xylulokinase and $^{D}$-arabinose isomerase essential for pentose phosphate pathway were induced by xylose, xylan, and xylitol but repressed by glucose. Taken together, the results suggested that the sequential utilization of B. stearothermophilus would be mediated by catabolite regulatory mechanisms such as catabolite inhibition or inducer exclusion.
