Abstract
An N-acetylglucosaminidase produced by Streptomyces cerradoensis was partially purified giving, by SDS-PAGE analysis, two main protein bands with Mr of 58.9 and 56.4 kDa. The Km and Vmax values for the enzyme using p-nitrophenyl-β-N-acetylglucosaminide as substrate were of 0.13 mM and 1.95 U mg−1 protein, respectively. The enzyme was optimally activity at pH 5.5 and at 50 °C when assayed over 10 min. Enzyme activity was strongly inhibited by Cu2+ and Hg2+ at 10 mM, and was specific to substrates containing acetamide groups such as p-nitrophenyl-β-N-acetylglucosaminide and p-nitrophenyl-β-D-N,N′-diacetylchitobiose.
