Summary

A tributyrin esterase was purified from Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris E8 using FPLC chromatography. This was the major esterase activity observed in strain E8 and was associated with a single protein with a subunit molecular mass of 29 kDa and a holoenzyme of molecular mass 109 kDa. The enzyme was active against tributyrin and p-nitrophenyl butyrate. The N-terminal sequence of the enzyme was determined. The enzyme had a pH optimum in the neutral range, was stable on freezing at −20 °C, and had a half life of 1 h at 50 °C.
