1. 고온성 사상균인 Myriococcum albomyces의 밀기울 액체배양액에는 xylanase 활성이 있다. 2. Xylanase의 최적 pH는 5.0이었다. 그리고 xylanase의 pH 안정범위는 pH 4.0~7.0 이었다. 3. Xylanase의 최적온도는 5$0^{circ}C$ 이었다. 4. Xylanase의 열안정성은 $65^{circ}C$에서 65분간 안전하였다. 5. 액체 배양약은 SE-Sephadex, DEAE-Sepadex 및 Sephadex G-100 column chronatography 로 2종의 xylanase(A. B)를 분리하였다. 6. 정제 xylanase A는 액화형의 xylanase이고 정제 xylanase B는 당화형의 xylanase이었다. 7. 정제 xylanase A의 최적 pH는 4.0, pH 안정성 3.0~8.0 온도안정성은 7$0^{circ}C$에서 60분간이었고 정제 xylanase B의 최적 pH 5.0 pH, 안정성 4.0~8.5 온도 안정성은 $65^{circ}C$에서 60분간이었다.
1) Two xylanase (designed as A and B) of Myriococcus albomyces were purified from an extract of wheat koji culture. Puriscation steps included first ammonium sulfate fractionation followed successively by SE-Sephadex column chromatgraphy. DEAE-Sephadex column chromatography and gel filtration on Sephadex G-100 repectively. 2) The optimum pH and pH stability for crude xylanse were found to be pH 5.0 and pH 4.0-7.0 respectively. 3) The optimium temperature was found to he 5$0^{circ}C$ and for the thermal statbility of xylanase, the enryme incubated at $65^{circ}C$ for 60min did not affect their stability. 4) The purised xylanase A and B were considered as liquefying xylanase and saccharogenic xylauase repectively. 5) The Bylanase A was most active at pH 4.0 and range of pH 3.0-8.0 at 3$0^{circ}C$ for six hrs. The B was most active at pH 5.0 showing stability range of pH 4.0 to 8.5 at 3$0^{circ}C$ for 6 hrs. incubation respectively. The Optimum temperature of xylanase A and B were found to be 7$0^{circ}C$ and $65^{circ}C$ for 60min repectively.
