Popis: An extracellular acid phosphatase isolated from the culture of a wild strainAspergillus niger, producing the dephosphorylating 3-phytase, was obtained in a homogeneous form by sequential application of ultrafiltration through PS 50 membrane, gel filtration on Sephadex G-100 and ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose CL 6B and CM-Sepharose CL 6B. The enzyme showed a maximum catalytic value in a strongly acidic range (pH 2.0–2.4) with pHopt 2.1 andt opt 66 °C. The acid phosphatase showed a wide substrate specificity and a high affinity for sodium phytate, 2.5× higher than with 4-nitrophenyl phosphate. This property of the acid phosphatase demonstrated that it is a potent 3-phytase at pH 2.1 and is of great significance for a practical application of the dephosphorylating complex — its addition to the diets of monogastric animals in view of the low pH values in the digestive tract.
