Extracellular nuclease produced by a marine Vibrio sp., strain No. 2, was purified by salting out with ammonium sulfate and by chromatography on a DEAE-cellulose column and twice on a Sephadex G-200 column. The nuclease was eluted as a single peak in which the deoxyribonuclease (DNase) activity and ribonuclease (RNase) activity appeared together. Polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis showed a single band of stained protein which had both DNase and RNase activity. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 100 000 daltons. When using partially purified enzyme from the DEAE-cellulose column, the optimum pH for activity was 8.0, and the enzyme was activated strongly by 0.05 M Mg2+ ion and stabilized by 0.01 M Ca2+ ion. These concentrations of Mg2+ and Ca2+ ions are similar to those of the two cations in seawater. Indeed, the enzyme revealed high activity and strong stability when kept in seawater. The presence of particulate matter, such as cellulose powder, chitin powder, Hyflosupercel, Kaolin, and marine mud increased the stability of the enzyme. When the hydrostatic pressure was increased from 1 to 1000 atmospheres, the decrements of the enzyme activity were more pronounced at 30 and 40 °C than at 25 or 50 °C. The enzyme activity was restored after decompression to 1 atm at 30 °C.

AbstractObjective: Biosurfactants are surface-active substances produced by microorganisms. The growth of microorganism supports biosurfactant production on hydrocarbon polluted environments. In this study, the capacity of biosurfactant production of Georgenia daeguensis (accession number, KP798810) isolated from hydrocarbon- contaminated soil was studied.Methods: The components of biosurfactant production medium were investigated through Plackett-Burman methodology. By using Placket-Burman based on statistical screening, six of the eleven factors of production medium were found to be critically effective on the biosurfactant production.Results: The significant factors were KCl, ZnSOConclusion: This study reported that Georgenia daeguensis is able to produce effective biosurfactant exhibiting antibacterial activity against K. pneumoniae.
