Abstract

The pectic enzymes produced from Aspergillus niger were separated into three fractions (F-A, F-I and F-II) by means of Sephadex and DEAF-Sephadex column chromatography. Each enzyme fraction was characterized by determining viscosity change and reducing surgar of the pectic acid-enzyme mixture and analyzing thin layer chromatogram of the reaction products. F-I rapidly reduced the viscosity of pectic acid solution and released reducing groups in a random manner so that appeared to be an endo-polygalacturonase (endo-PG). The optimum pH of endo-PG for viscosity reducing activity was 4.2 and that for releasing reducing surgar was 4.7. In the thermal inactivation of endo-PG of $30-45^{\circ}C$, the enthalpy of activation was 217.3 kj/mole and z-value was $7.5^{\circ}C$. F-II and F-A were determined as endo-polymethylgalacturonase and exo-polygalacturonase, respectively.

Aspergillus niger sherumanni IAM 2059가 분비하는 펙틴질분해효소 중에서 endo-polygalacturonase 를 Sephadex G-100, DEAE-Sephadex A-50을 이용하여 분리하고 점도감소와 분해산물분석을 통해 효소의 특성을 조사하였다. Chromatography를 통해 얻은 3 개의 역가 fraction (F-A, F-I 및 F-II) 은 각각 exo형 효소, eodo-polygalacturonase, endo-polymethylgalacturonase 이었다. endo-polygalacturonase의 역가 최적 pH는 환원당 생성으로는 pH4.2 근방이었고 점도감도로는 pH4.7 근방이었다. 이 효소의 Z-value는 $7.5^{\circ}C$이고 $D40^{\circ}C$는 240sec 이며 $40^{\circ}C$에서 활성화엔트로피(Enthalphy of activation) 217.3KJ/mol, 활성화엔트로피(Entropy of activation) 409.2J/mol.K, 활성화자유에너지(Free energy activation) 89.2KJ/mol 이었다.
