RESUMO

An exocellular inducible alginase from a strain of Alginovibrio aquatilis was purified 61-fold by ammonium sulfate precipitation and column chromatography on Sephadex G-150 and diethylaminoethyl-cellulose. The purified enzyme was more resistant than the crude enzyme to elevated temperatures. The monovalent cations Cs+, Rb+, K+, Na+, and Li+, in order of decreasing enzyme activation, were required for activity. The pH optimum of the purified alginase was 8.0 and its molecular weight from exclusion chromatography on Sephadex G-150 was 110,000.
