چکیده
Catalase from the facultatively psychrophilic bacterium Vibrio rumoiensis S-1(T), which was isolated from an environment exposed to H(2)O(2) and exhibited high catalase activity, was purified and characterized, and its localization in the cell was determined. Its molecular mass was 230 kDa, and the molecule consisted of four identical subunits. The enzyme, which was not apparently reduced by dithionite, showed a Soret peak at 406 nm in a resting state. The catalytic activity was 527,500 U. mg of protein(-1) under standard reaction conditions at 40 degrees C, 1.5 and 4.3 times faster, respectively, than those of the Micrococcus luteus and bovine catalases examined under the same reaction conditions, and showed a broad optimum pH range (pH 6 to 10). The catalase from strain S-1(T) is located not only in the cytoplasmic space but also in the periplasmic space. There is little difference in the activation energy for the activity between strain S-1(T) catalase and M. luteus and bovine liver catalases. The thermoinstability of the activity of the former catalase were significantly higher than those of the latter catalases. The thermoinstability suggests that the catalase from strain S-1(T) should be categorized as a psychrophilic enzyme. Although the catalase from strain S-1(T) is classified as a mammal type catalase, it exhibits the unique enzymatic properties of high intensity of enzymatic activity and thermoinstability. The results obtained suggest that these unique properties of the enzyme are in accordance with the environmental conditions under which the microorganism lives.

Characterization of a facultatively psychrophilic bacterium, vibrio rumoiensis sp. nov., that exhibits high catalase activity
A novel facultatively psychrophilic bacterium, strain S-1, which exhibits extraordinarily high catalase activity was isolated from the drain pool of a fish product processing plant that uses H2O2 as a bleaching and microbicidal agent. The catalase activity of the isolate was 1 or 2 orders of magnitude higher than those of Corynebacterium glutamicum, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas fluorescen...

A possible mechanism of resistance to hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in Vibrio rumoiensis, isolated from the H2O2-rich drain pool of a fish processing plant, was examined. When V. rumoiensis cells were inoculated into medium containing either 5 mM or no H2O2, they grew in similar manners. A spontaneous mutant strain, S-4, derived from V. rumoiensis and lacking catalase activity did not grow at all in...

An alkali- and halo-tolerant bacterium with high catalase activity was isolated and identified as a new species of the genus Halomonas. Its catalase (HktA) was simply purified by two steps of liquid chromatography. A 71.4% yield of the catalase was obtained with 97% purity on SDS-PAGE. The specific activity of HktA (57,900 U/mg protein) was two times higher than that of bovine liver catalase. T...

A psychrotolerant bacterium, strain T-3 (identified as Psychrobacter piscatorii), that exhibited an extraordinarily high catalase activity was isolated from the drain pool of a plant that uses H(2)O(2) as a bleaching agent. Its cell extract exhibited a catalase activity (19,700 U·mg protein(-1)) that was higher than that of Micrococcus luteus used for industrial catalase production. Catalase wa...
