Endoglucanase produced from Aspergillus flavus was purified by several steps including precipitation with 25 % ammonium sulphate followed by Ion –exchange chromatography, the obtained specific activity was 377.35 U/ mg protein, with a yield of 51.32 % .This step was followed by gel filtration chromatography (Sepharose -6B), when a value of specific activity was 400 U/ mg protein, with a yield of 48 %. Certain properties of this purified enzyme were investigated, the optimum pH of activity was 7 and the pH of its stability was 4.5, while the temperature stability was 40 °C for 60 min. The enzyme retained 100% of its original activity after incubation at 40 °C for 60 min; the optimum temperature for enzyme activity was 40 °C.

Purification And Characterization

Aspergillus flavus produces an inducible esterase that hydrolyzes the depside, 2-(3′,4′-dihydroxybenzoyloxy)-4,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid. The activity of this enzyme may be followed by measurement of the rate of production of protocatechnic acid, which reacts with alkaline potassium ferricyanide to give a product with an absorption maximum at 540 mμ. Synthesis of the esterase is induced when the organism is grown on rutin, robinin, hyperosid, kaempferol, rhamnetin, myricetin, quercetin, and fisetin, but not when grown on apigenin, galangin, glucose, naringenin, morin, rhamnose, robinetin, or taxifolin. The esterase has been partially purified and separated from the rutinase and quercetinase enzymes. The esterase is most active at pH 4.5. Eighty percent of the activity remained after holding the enzyme for 10 minutes at 60 °C. The enzyme readily attacked the depside linkages in tannic acid but did not hydrolyze common ester substrates such as ethyl butyrate.
