Phytase produced from an edible local mushroom P.ostreatus11L was purified in three steps, in precipitation with ammonium Sulfate (saturation ratio70%), the specific activity of phytase increased from 0.38u/mg protein in crude extract to 0.77 u/mg protein with purification of 2.03 fold and the enzyme yield was 92.05%, in ion exchange chromatography(DEAE-cellulose) step, specific activity was 3.6 u/mg protein with purification of 9.47 fold with a yield of 71. 82%. In the last step, with gel filtration chromatography using Sephadex G75 which gave the highest specific activity reached 7.5 U/mg with the purification folds arrived to 19.74 and enzyme yield was 42.61%. The results showed that there is only one band appeared in SDS-PAGE technique indicating a high purity of phytase enzyme , the purified phytase behaved as a monomeric protein with a molecular mass of about 25.12 kDa . The phytase was active over a broad range of incubation temperature (20 - 50ºC), maximal activity was 0.83 unit/ml when phytase incubated at 30ºC while the enzyme has thermal stability over a broad range of temperatures (20-60ºC) for one h since more than 50 % of the relative enzyme activity was retained after incubation. Phytase was active over a broad range of pH (4-8), maximal activity was 0.81unit/ml when phytase incubated at pH 6 followed by 0.79 unit/ml when phytase incubated at pH 5 without significant differences between them. In addition , the enzyme was full stable at pH 5 and 6 for 1 h of incubation at 37oC. phytase activity didn’t reach 70% at the other pH values. Hence it is inferred that the phytase was active over a broad range of pH 4-8. Among various metal ions, only MgSO4 has a syregenic effect with phytase activity in which activity increased as residual activity was 117.36% , while CuSO4 and ZnCl were the most inhibitory agents for P.ostreatus phytase.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
