Abstract | ||
In a previous screening study for polyhydroxy alkanoate (PHA) degrading activities, three isolates were obtained and characterized as Eikenella corrondens, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Alcaligenes faecalis . In the present study, PHA depolymerases from these three isolates were purified by DEAE anion exchange chromatography and by chromatofocusing ( isoelectric focusing ) after precipitation from the crude enzyme preparations by ammonium sulfate. The molecular weights for the three enzymes were determined by gel permeation sodium dodecyl sulphat (SDS) polyacrylamide gel eclectrophoresis. | ||
