Abstract: Uricase is used in routine clinical analysis and clinical medicine widely. Its importance in medical treatment and diagnosis is increasing. A high uricase-producting strain Z7 was screened from the Dalian Huanghai Sea mud and seawater by transparent circle method and enzyme coupling spectrophotometry,and identified as Bacillus fastidiosus by 16S rDNA phylogenetic analysis,morphology and physiological and biochemical characteristics. Results showed that the molecular weight of the protein was about 33 kD. The optimum temperature for uricase was 25℃,and specific activity was 673.7 U/mg . The optimum pH for uricase was 8.0,and it was stable in the pH range of 8.0 to 9.0. Its relative enzyme activity could still maintain more than 90% after 1 h’s incubation. The activation of Fe3+ and Ca2+ on uricase was stimulative effects,while Ag+,Hg2+ showed strong inhibitory effects. Owing to the excellent chill enzyme activity and stability,Z7 can lay a theoretical foundation for the industrialized production of uricase and has potential development value.
