Abstract
Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13) of Haloferax mediterranei was immobilized by treating the cell extract in the presence of 10% BSA, with the cross-linking reagent, 0.5% glutaraldehyde for 15min, with the retention of 60% of its original activity. The immobilized preparation exhibited a shift in the temperature optimum from 55°C to 65°C. The enzyme showed enhanced stability towards inactivation by radiation and storage (0–5°C) on immobilization. Immobilization also made the enzyme less halophilic, reducing its denaturation on prolonged storage in a non-salt medium, as well as exhibiting optimal activity at a lower KCl concentration (0.5m) as compared to the soluble enzyme (1–2m).
