In the present study, we attempted to purify inulinase P-I from Aspergillus niger by ion-exchange chromatography in DEAE-Cellulose column and gel filtration in Sephadex column. The catalytic properties of this electrophoretically homogeneous enzyme were compared with those of inulinase P-II described in the previous report. The molecular weight of P- I was estimated to be 72,000 and 70,000 by Sephadex G-200 gel chromatography and SDS-PAGE, respectively, suggesting that P-I is a monomer enzyme. The optimum pH was 4.0 for P-I and 5.0 for P-II and the optimum temperature was nearly 50t for both enzymes. Either of the two was stable within the range of pH 4.0-7.0 and the activity was not affected by heat treatment at 50°C. Further, both enzymes exhibited specific activities to inulin, sucrose and raffinose, but not to levan and melezitose. The values of Km for inulin and sucrose were 0.40 and 7.14 mM for P-I, and 1.87 and 12.50 mM for P- II. Next, the effects of metal ions and inhibitors on the activities of P-I and P-II were investigated. Mn^2+ ion activated the both enzymes and Ag^+ and Hg^2+ ions showed nearly complete inhibition of them. In addition, Fe^3+ and PCMB had strong inhibitory effects on the both enzymes and only P-I was slightly resistant to the inhibition of EDTA.}, pages = {93--101}, title = {Aspergillus nigerの生産する細胞外エキソ型イヌリナ-ゼ(P-I)の性質について}, volume = {43}, year = {1997}, yomi = {ナカムラ, トヨヒコ and ウラカワ, トモヒロ and スイコウ, マサヒト and オオタ, カズヨシ} }
