Abstract
An esterase hydrolyzing phthalate esters has been purified from Micrococcus sp. YGJ1. The enzyme, a monomeric protein (Mr = 56 kDa) with a pI of 4.0, hydrolyzes various aliphatic and aromatic carboxylesters. The medium chain (C3-C4) esters are the most preferred substrates. The enzyme is inhibited by HgCl2 and p-chloromercuribenzoate but not by phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride.Entities:
