[Isolation from Micrococcus sp. n. of a homogeneous heme-containing catalase and a crystalline protein with catalase activity].
A method for isolation and purification of catalases from the culture of Micrococcus sp. n. grown under aeration conditions is described. Heme-containing catalase (I) and the protein possessing a catalase activity (II) were separated by fractionation with ammonium sulfate. The specific activity of the highly purified protein causing degradation of H2O2 is 200 times less than that of the heme-containing enzyme. The molecular weights of catalases I and II as determined by electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel gradient 4/30% are 240000 and 130000, respectively. The method described is designed at rapid isolation of preparative amounts of catalases from Micrococcus sp. n.
