Abstract
An intracellular, inducible alginase from a marine bacterium Bacillus was enriched 42 fold by ammonium sulfate precipitation and column chro matography on DEAE cellulose. Thermal stability, pH optima and require ment for monovalent cations for the enzyme were studied. Optimum pH of the purified enzyme was 7.5 and its molecular weight, determined by e xclusion chromatography, was 40 000 Daltons.
