Abstract

An extracellular lipase produced by the glycolipid-producing yeast Kurtzmanomyces sp. I-11 was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and column chromatographies on DEAE-Sephadex A-25, SP-Sephadex C-50, and Sephadex G-100. Based on the analysis of the purified lipase on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the purified lipase was judged to be homogeneous and its molecular mass was estimated to be approximately 49 kDa. The optimum temperature for the activity was 75°C, and the activity was very stable at temperatures below 70°C. The active pH range of this lipase was 1.9-7.2, and the activity was stable at pH below 7.1. The lipase showed a preference for C18 acyl groups by measurements with p-nitrophenyl esters and triglycerides as substrates. The lipase was very stable in the presence of various organic solvents at a concentration of 40%. Although the N- terminal sequence of the Kurtzmanomyces lipase was very similar to that of lipase A from Candida antarctica, the pH profiles of the two lipases were significantly different. © 2002, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
