Abstract
A yeast growing at 48°C was isolated from soil and the strain was identified as Cryptococcus lactativorus. The aldose reductase which the strain produced was purified 114-fold with an overall recovery of 36%. The stability of the enzyme was higher than that of other aldose reductases. The half life of the enzyme was 800 h and 14 h at 30°C and 50°C, respectively. The enzyme showed the best activity with d-xylose. l-Sorbose and d-fructose were also reduced by the enzyme. The enzyme was active with both NADPH and NADH as a conenzyme, and the activity with NADH was 1.25 times higher than that with NADPH. The Kmapp value for d-xylose was 8.6 mM and the Vmaxapp was 20.8 units/mg NADH was used as a coenzyme. The Kmapp values for NADPH and NADH were 6μM and 170 μM, respectively, when d-glucose was used as a substrate.
