| Abstract: | Phosphodiesterase together with brown-coloured compounds was extracted from a forest soil using 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7). Use of KCl and EDTA with the buffer facilitated phosphodiesterase extraction. Distilled water extracted little enzyme activity. A curvilinear relationship such as the Langmuir type was found between solution volume and phosphodiesterase activity of the extract. The results implied that the phosphodiesterase extracted was extracellular and was adsorbed on the surface of soil particles by ionic bonding. Brown-coloured compounds in the extract were removed by precipitation with protamine sulfate. The phosphodiesterase activity of the extract treated with protamine sulfate was lost on keeping at 80°C for 10 min and was optimal at pH 5.2–6.0. The extract hydrolyzed either the 3'- or the 5'-phosphodiester bond of deoxythymidine p-nitrophenyl phosphate. |
