ABSTRACT
Immobilization of enzymes is important and widely applied in biocatalysis. Streptomyces platensis gene gox, encoding an extracellular L-glutamate oxidase (Gox), was fused to cellulose binding domain (CBDcex) from Cellulomonas fimi and the recombinant protein Gox-CBD was expressed in Escherichia coli. The fusion protein (Gox-CBD) was immobilized onto microcrystalline cellulose. The preparation conditions, binding capacity, properties and stability of the immobilized enzyme were studied. Under the condition of 4 ℃, for 1 hour, the fusion protein Gox-CBD was able to bind microcrystalline cellulose at a ratio of 9.0 mg of protein per gram of microcrystalline cellulose. Enzymatic properties of free and immobilized L-glutamic oxidase (Gox-CBD) were compared. The specific activity of the immobilized enzyme decreased, but its thermal stability increased a lot compared with that of the free Gox-CBD. After incubation at 60 ℃ for 30 min, 70% of the total activity remained whereas the free recombinant Gox completely lost its activity. The immobilized protein was tightly bound to microcrystalline cellulose at pH below 10 or more than 5 mmol/L NaCl. The fusion protein of Gox-CBD can be specifically immobilized on the microcrystalline cellulose on a single step. Therefore, our findings can provide a novel strategy for protein purification and enzyme immobilization.
ABSTRACT
The article involved in the morphology and the growth of Monascus on surface fermentation The colony area of former period, and phenetic volume the distribution of growth on the basis of color of latter period reflect the mycelia activity The kinetics model of morphological varies was established, which agree with the normal kinetics model
