✦ Synopsis
Levansucrase (EC 2.4.1.10) was purified approximately 40-fold from the extracellular culture fluid of Erwiniu herbicolu NRRL B-1678. The purified enzyme in its native form occurred as an aggregate. Poly(acrylamide) gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate showed an active monomer having a molecular weight of 48,000. The enzyme had a K,,, for sucrose of 28mM and a pH optimum of 6.0, and was stable from -18 to t-52". It was free from cy-D-glucosidase, amylase, and glucansucrase activities, but exhibited considerable P-Dfructofuranosidase activity.
