Screening and characterization of a novel alkaline lipase from Acinetobacter calcoaceticus 1–7 Isolated from bohai bay in china for detergent formulation

摘要

A novel alkaline lipase-producing strain 1–7 identified as Acinetobacter calcoaceticus was isolated from soil samples collected from Bohai Bay, China, using an olive oil alkaline plate, which contained olive oil as the sole carbon source. The lipase from strain 1–7 showed the maximum activity at pH 9.0 under 40 °C. One interesting feature of this enzyme is that it exhibits lipase activity over a broad range of temperatures and good stability. It is also stable at a broad range of pHs from 4.0 to 10.0 for 24 h. Its catalytic activity was highly enhanced in the presence of Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺ and K⁺, but partially inhibited by Cu²⁺, Al³⁺, Fe³⁺, Ba²⁺and Zn²⁺. The fact that it displays marked stability and activity in the presence of TritonX-100, Tween-20, Tween-80, SDS, Hydrogen peroxide, Sodium perborate, Sodium hypochlorite, Sodium citrate, Sodium taurocholate, Glycerine and NaCl suggests that this lipase is suitable as an additive in detergent formulations.
