摘要: A novel Enterococcus faecalis strain designated N J402 was found with high activity of arginine deiminase (ADI). The optimum condition for catalytic activity was determined in terms of temperature (about 40℃), thermostability (available 37℃) and pH (6-7). The effects of substrate and product concentration were studied. The effects of various metal ions added in reaction mixtures on the biocatalyst were investigated and ADI of N J402 was found to exhibit Co^2+ dependence, different from previous reports. Surfactant, cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide, was one of the most important keys for producing L-citrulline. The enzyme in resting cells possessed the quality of high stability for reuse.
