摘要：
In the present investigation, a microorganism hydrolyzing carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) was isolated and identified as Bacillus subtilis strain LFS3 by 16S rDNA sequence analysis. The carboxymethylcellulase (CMCase) enzyme produced by the B. subtilis strain LFS3 was purified by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation, ion exchange and gel filtration chromatography, with an overall recovery of 15 %. Native-PAGE analysis of purified CMCase revealed the molecular weight of enzyme to be about 185 kDa. The activity profile of CMCase enzyme showed the optimum activity at temperature 60 °C and pH 4.0, respectively. The enzyme activity was induced by Na+, Mg2+, NH4+, and EDTA, whereas strongly inhibited by Hg2+ and Fe3+. The purified enzyme hydrolyzed CMC, filter paper, and xylan, but not p-nitrophenyl β-d-glucopyranoside and cellulose. Kinetic analysis of purified enzyme showed the Km value of 2.2 mg/ml. Thus, acidophilic as well as thermophilic nature makes this cellulase a suitable candidate for current mainstream biomass conversion into fuel and other industrial processes.
