Inositol Phosphate Phosphatases of Microbiological Origin. Some Properties of a Partially Purified Bacterial (Pseudomonas Sp.) Phytase

Abstract

A phytase (E.C. 3.1.3.8) was extracted from a bacterium (Pseudomonas sp.) and purified 25-fold by ammonium sulphate fractionation, gel filtration, and ionexchange cellulose chromatography. Its properties are compared with the published properties of some plant phytases and a bacterial phytase.
