THERMOPHILIC ALGINATE LYASE FROM BACILLUS STEAROTHERMOPHILUS NRRL B-18394

摘要

The process described, which is used to produce an enzyme for degrading algae cell walls, consists in cultivating a thermophilic bacterial strain of Bacillus stearothermophilus such as the alginate-producing W36-7-4 (NRRL B-18394). -lyase in an aqueous medium containing sodium alginate and tryptone, to allow growth to develop to allow the accumulation of alginate lyase, then to recover the enzyme from the fermentation broth. Alginate lyase is useful as a treatment agent for cooling water.
