Objective: Research and characterization of new thermostable lipases from bacterial strains isolated from tannery waters in the old medina of Fez. Methods: Gene which encodes the 16S ribosomal RNA for a bacterial species was amplified via PCR and sequenced (Bacillus pumilus HF544325). The extracellular lipase from B. pumilus is purified by gel filtration (Sephacryl S-200) and cation exchange chromatography (Mono S sepharose cation exchanger). The N-terminal sequences of purified Bacillus pumilus lipase were determined by automated Edman's degradation, using an Applied Biosystems 470 A protein sequencer equipped with PTH 120A analyser. The activity of lipase was examined within the pH range of 6.0-10.0 and the effect of pH on lipase stability was determined by incubating the lipase fraction in various buffer solutions ranging from 3.0 to 10.0 for 24 h at room temperature. Results:The results showed that Bacillus pumilus is a strain that produce non-inducible lipase. This enzyme has a molecular weight of 27 kDa and presents a maximal activity at pH 8 and 45°C. The 18 N-terminal amino acid residues showed a high degree of homology with other Bacillus lipase sequences. After treatment in 100°C for 5 min, the thermostable enzyme maintains 60% of its activity, which is greater than that those founded in previous works. The enzyme retained 100% of its activity after 30 min incubation at 70°C. Conclusion: This newly isolated lipase is thermostable and it has a significant difference which was observed when the biochemical properties of the Bacillus pumilus lipase were compared to others microbial lipases. The Bacillus pumilus lipase can be considered as a good candidature for industrial and biotechnological applications. Key Words: Bacillus pumilus, lipase, purification, thermostable Conflict of Interest: The authors have no conflict of interest. ÖZETAmaç: Çalışmanın amacı Fez şehrinde bulunan tabakhane sularından izole edilen bakteri suşla-rından, sıcaklığa dayanıklı yeni bir lipaz enzimini saflaştırarak karakterize etmektir. Metod: Bakteri türleri için 16S ribosomal RNA'yı kodlayan gen PCR ile çoğaltılarak sekanslanmıştır (Bacillus pumilus HF544325). Ekstraselüler lipaz jel filtrasyonu (Sefakril S-200) ve katyon değiştirici kromatografi kullanılarak (Mono S Sefaroz katyon değiştirici) B. pumilus'den saflaştırılmıştır. Saflaştırılan Bacillus pumilus lipazının N-terminal dizisi Edman degredasyon yöntemi (Applied Biosystems 470 A protein sekanslama cihazı ile PTH120A analizör) ile saptanmıştır. Lipaz aktivitesi 6.0-10.0 pH aralığında incelenmiş, pH'nın lipaz enziminin dayanık-lılığına olan etkisi lipaz fraksiyonunu pH'sı 3.0 ile 10.0 arasında değişen çeşitli tampon çözel-tilerinde 24 saat oda sıcaklığında inkübe ederek araştırılmıştır. Bulgular: Sonuçlar Bacillus pumilus suşunun indüklenmeyen lipaz enzimini ürettiğini gös-termektedir. Lipaz enzimi 27 kDa molekül ağırlığına sahip olup, en yüksek aktiviteyi pH 8 ve 45°C'de göstermektedir. Amino ucundaki 18 amino asit diğer Bacillus lipaz dizileri ile yüksek oranda ...
