Abstract: | A new thermophilic inulinase-producing strain, which grows optimally at 60 °C, was isolated from soil samples with medium containing inulin as a sole carbon source. It was identified as a Bacillus smithii by analysis of 16s rDNA. Maximum inulinase yield of 135.2 IU/ml was achieved with medium pH7.0, containing inulin 2.0%, (NH4)H2PO4 0.5%, yeast extract 0.5%, at 50 °C 200 rpm shaker for 72-h incubation. The purified inulinase from the extracellular extract of B. smithii T7 shows endoinulinolytic activity. The optimum pH for this endoinulinase is 4.5 and stable at pH range of 4.0–8.0. The optimum temperature for enzyme activity was 70 °C, the half life of the endoinulinase is 9 h and 2.5 h at 70 °C and 80 °C respectively. Comparatively lower Michaelis–Menten constant (4.17 mM) and higher maximum reaction velocity (833 IU/mg protein) demonstrate the endoinulinase’s greater affinity for inulin substrate. These findings are significant for its potential industrial application. |
