Bacillus stearothermomophilus, a strong xylan degrader, was confirmed to express multiple esterase activities in addition to the major xylanolytic enzymes. One of the genes encoding the esterases was isolated from the genomic library of B. stearothermophilus constructed with EcoRl restriction endonuclease and pBR322 plasmid. Three recombinant plasmids showing the tributyrin degrading activity were selected from approximately 7, 000 E. coli HB101 transformants, and were found to have the same insert of a 3.2 kb DNA fragment. Restriction mapping and hybridization studies revealed that the gene(estII) on the hybrid plasmid (pKMG7) had originated from the B. stearothermophilus chromosome, and was distinct from the estl, another esterase gene of B. stearothermophilus isolated in the previous work. The E. coli cells harboring pKMG7 produced an acetylxylan esterase that exibited similar substrate specificity to the esterase encoded by the estI gene.

배추흰나비의 변태에 따른 esterase의 활성변화 및 zymogram pattern의 변화를 조사하였으며 5령말 유충으로부터 3개의 esterase를 순수 분리하였다. Esterase의 활성은 5령초에서 5령말에 이르는 동안 급격히 증가하여 5령말에서 최대의 활성이 나타났으며 전기영동의 결과 whole body와 중장내 esterase band의 수나 강도는 5령말에서 최대로 나타났다. Gel filtration과 ion-exchange chromatography 및 preparative electorphoresis를 통해 정제된 각 esterase의 최종순도는 약 30-60배였다.
