Abstract
The aim of this study was to purify and characterize
an enzyme phytase obtained from Aspergillus niger isolate.
The results showed that extracellular phytase from
Aspergillus niger can be purified by ammonium sulfate
precipitation at 80-90% saturation in combination with
cation-exchange
chromatography
on
SP-streamline
following hydrophobic interaction chromatography on
Phenyl-Sepharose. Phytase purification fold was 12.56 and
activity recovery was 48%. SDS-PAGE revealed that the
purified phytase behaved as a protein with molecular mass
of about 87kDa. Optimum phytase activity was at 65°C in
the presence of 40mM Ca2+.
Key words: Aspergillus niger, hydrophobic interaction,
Cation-exchange
chromatography,
SP-streamline,
Phenyl-sepharose, phytase, phytate.

I. Introduction
Phytate (myo-inositol hexakisphosphate) is the primary storage
form of phosphorus in plants. They occupy about 1-3% of the
seeds of grains and legumes, and 60-80% of the total amount of
plant phosphorus (Nelson, 1967). Phosphorus is essential for
feeding animals, poultry and even for human diet. It is supplied in
the form of phytate or phytic acid. Naturally, phytases are known
as a group of enzyme able to catalyse the hydrolysis of phytate to
free phosphate, a form of phosphorus that is easily to be absorbed
in the animal digestive tract. Unfortunately, monogastric animals
and human are lacking in phytase. As a result, phosphorus from
phytate can not be absorbed and therefore it is excreted in the
feces that cause the environment pollution (Mullaney et al.,
2000). For this reason, supplementing of phytase in the feed or
human diet will help to solve the problem.
Phytase can be obtained from many sources such as bacteria
(Bacillus, Enterobacteria), filamentous fungi (Aspergillus sp.,
Penicillin sp., Mucor sp.). Among them, A. niger is a preferable
species for exploration due to its high phytase production.
Recently, an A. niger strain which was able to give high phytase
production was isolated in the Lab of Enzyme Technology,
Biotechnology R&D Institute (Nguyen Nhat Khoa Tran, 2012).
As the continuation of this research, the thesis on "Purification
and characterizations of phytase enzyme from Aspergillus
niger" has been performed with the aim to obtain purifed phytase
and some its valuable characteristics to aplly in feed or food
industries.

III. Results and Discussion
3.1. Extraction of crude phytase from A. niger fresh biomass
Fresh A. niger biomass 900g was homogenized with 1000ml
Glycine-HCl 0.2M pH 3.5 buffer. The mixture was centrifuged to
obtain the crude phytase solution. The volume of crude phytase
extract were obtained about 700ml.
There was 498.71mg protein obtained with specific activity about
0.141U/mg.
3.2. Purification of phytase
3.2.1. Precipitation with ammpnium sulphate saturation
Crude phytase solution were precipitated with 80%
ammonium sulfate saturation (Đỗ Thị Thu Trang, 2011) in 2
hours at 4oC. The protein precipitate was redisolved in GlycineHCl 0.2M pH 3.5 and dialyzed against the same buffer to remove
ammonium sulfate. The specific phytase activity after dialysis
was about 0.770U/mg. It was 5.44 fold higher comparing with the
crude enzyme extract. SDS-PAGE was performed to check for the
purity of this protein fraction.
SDS-PAGE electrophoresis showed that after precipitation
some contaminated proteins were removed, however the enzyme
impurity was still high, so it was needed to purify it further by
other methods.

Figue 6. Chromatogram of ammonium sulphate phytase
preparation on SP-Streamline cation exchange column.
The chromatogram of ammonium sulphate preparation on SPStreamline column (Figure 6) showed that there was only one
protein peak eluted at 0.116M-0.256M NaCL. This protein had
specific phytase activity about 1,154(U/mg), which was 1,5 fold
and 8.16 fold
purity, higher than the specific activity of
ammonium sulphate enzyme preparation and crude enzyme
extract respectively.
SDS-PAGE (Figure 7) showed that after cation exchange
chromatography SP-Streamline, several contaminated proteins in
the phytase fraction have been removed (lane 4). It has been
partially purified in camparison with the ammonium sulphate
preparation (lane 3). However, there were still four protein bands
in this fraction so it should be further purify to get the
10
homogenous form. For this reason, hydrophobic interaction
chromatography on Phenyl Sepharose column was aplied.

Hydrophobic interaction chromatogram on Phenyl
Sepharose of Phytase fraction after SP-Streamline column
SDS-PAGE (Figure 9) revealed the homogenous phytase with one
major protein band of 87kDa (lane 5). This result was similar to
results of Greiner et al. (2009), the molecular mass of
extracellular phytase from A. niger 11T53A9 was about 85kDa.
This result is in accordance with the research by Ashok Pandey et
al. (2001) which showed phytase of some Aspergillus strains had
molecular mass from 40 to 100kDa. Sariyska et al. (2005) found
an extracellular phytase from wild strain A. niger with a low
molecular mass 39kDa. In addition, the molecular mass of the
phytases from bacteria is also low. For example, extracellular
phytase from Bacillus sp. DSll was 44 kDa (Young-Ok Kim et al.,
1998) and alkaline phytase from Lilium longiflorum pollen grain
was 52-55 kDa (Barry G. et al., 2006).

In comparison with the other purifcation procedures such as
Sariyska et al. (2005), who purified phytase from
A. niger
wild species by three steps: PS 50 membrane filtration, Sephadex
G-100 gel filtration chromatography column and DEAESepharose CL 6B ion exchange chromatography column, and
Greiner et al. (2009) purified phytase from A. niger 11T53A9
through these steps of ammonium sulfate precipitation from 090% saturation, four ion exchange chromatography column and
gel filtration chromatography (DEAE Sepharose CL 6B, CM
Sepharose CL 6B, Sephacryl S -200 HR and Mono S HR 5/5), the
purification procedure in this thesis was rather simpler and the
enzyme preparation was purer.
In general the purification procedure for phytase from
A.
niger can be established as in the following scheme:
14
Crude phytase extract from fresh A. niger biomass
Saturated ammonium sulfate 80% precipitation
Dialysis against glycine-HCl
0,2M pH3,5 buffer solution
Ion exchange chromatography on
SP-Streamline

3.3. Characterization of purified phytase
3.3.1. The effect of ion Ca2+ on crude phytase activity.
Figue 11 demonstrated that crude phytase activity was
affected by Ca2+ ion. The presence of ion Ca2+ from
5- 50mM
enhanced the enzyme activity and the specific activity was
significantly different compared to control (Table 4, Appendix 2).
Adding 40mM Ca2+ increased specific activity of phytase
74,07% comparable to the control (without Ca 2+).
However,
2+
when the concentration of Ca increased more than 40mM, the
enzyme activity decreased, possibly high concentration of phytase
inhibit the enzyme action.

Also, Sariyska et al. (2005) reported that crude phytase
from A. niger wild type was active in the presence of 0.1mM
Ca2+. Phytase from Bacillus sp. DS11 active in the presence of
5mM Ca2+ (Young-Ok Kim et al., 1998).
3.3.2. Temperature optimum of phytase activity
Temperature is an important factor directly affecting the
catalytic activity of the enzyme. Almost all enzymes were
denatured under high temperature due to the disruption of enzyme
structure, except some thermophylic enzymes.
The results in Figue 12 showed that the phytase from A.
niger isolate was active in a range of 45 oC to 95 oC, and the
optimum temperature was 65oC.
It seemed this phytase is
thermotolerant. Similarly, Kim et al., 1998 reported that the active
temperature of different phytase was in a range of 40 oC - 77 oC.
Also, Sariyska et al. (2005) showed that the extracellular phytase
from wild Aspergillus niger exposed the optimum temperature at
55°C.
