摘要

The present study is focused on dextranase from Streptomyces sp. NK458 with potential to remove dextran formed during sugar manufacture. The dextranase had molecular weight of 130 kDa and hydrolyzed 15-25 and 410 kDa dextran. Dextranase production was optimized using statistical designs and the enzyme was purified 1.8-fold with 55.5%recovery. It displayed maximum activity at pH 9.0 and 60 掳C and was stable over a wide range of pH from 5.0 to 10.0. The k_m and V_max values were 3.05 mM and 17.97 mmol/ml/h, respectively. Ten units of dextranase could reduce dextran content by 67%in 24 h and 56%in 72 h from sugarcane juice of cane variety CoS 86032. The enzyme was stable up to 3 days at 30 掳C beyond which its activity decreased and dextran removal could be retained by supplementation of 5 U of dextranase. These properties make it a promising biocatalyst for sugar industry.
