ABSTRACT The present study aim optimization Pseudomonas extremaustralis production of L-methioninase. The bacterial isolate ability for L-methioninase production was tested on a modified mineral salt M9 agar medium, using phenol red as the pH indicator. Result of optimization L-methioninase production, the cultural and nutrition parameters revealed to the maximum amount of L-methioninase produced by P. extremaustralis were 0.192U\min\ml, obtained after 48h at 35°C of incubation in shaking incubator (150rpm) in culture supplemented with L-methionine mixed with L-glutamine (0.15%), in the presence of glycerol (0.3%) as carbon source at pH6.

INTRODUCTION Nesslerization method, the highest enzyme production was obtained from a seashell sample, then the optimization of MGL production involves one-step degradation of L- the production conditions for maximum L-methioninase methionine by versatile enzyme L-methionine g-lyase. A production. pyridoxal -phosphate-dependent enzyme catalyzing α,γ - elimination of L-methionine to α-ketobutyrate, MATERIALS AND METHODS methanethiol and ammonia and that were existed in many bacteria such as Pseudomonas putida[1].Tumor freed Bacterial isolate: from efficient methionine synthase and external Pseudomonas extremaustralis obtained from other studies methionine comes from the diet [2]. L-methioninase is a by Al-Zahrani and Bukhari, (10). therapeutic agent against tumors [3, 4]. Methionine reduction has a broad spectrum of antitumor activities [5]. OptimizeL-methioninase production byPseudomonas L-methioninase found in most organisms except extremaustralis mammals. Moreover, found in the cell-free extract [6,7] Effect of incubation conditions: and many bacteria species as intracellular enzyme[8], in A loop full of a 24h culture of the selected bacterial isolate bacteria, intracellular L-methioninlytic enzyme have extra was inoculated with 30ml of a sterile seed medium in a limiting step during the scale production while in fungi test tube and incubated at 35±2°C in a constant incubator was both intracellular and extracellular [9]. for 24h. The optimization of enzyme production was evaluated by varying one factor at a time. Aim: For the best incubation conditions for L-methioninase Bacteria screening of L-methioninase in the Saudi marine production by Pseudomonas extremaustralis, a modified environment, the enzyme production was estimated by the Corresponding author:Bukhari, KA Address:Biology Department, Faculty of Science, University of Jeddah, KSA .

For the best carbon source, different carbon at 2g/ higher or lower of this degree, the production of the L was added to the fermentation medium. The optimal enzyme was decreased, results in Figures (1). concentration of carbon for L-methioninase production was determined, different concentrations (1-9g/ L) of the best carbon source were added. The optimal concentration of L-methionine was determined by using different concentrations (0.5– 1.5g\ L) of L-methionine. For the best nitrogen source, different amino acid and organic sources (1.25g\ L) were added to the fermentation medium. Mixed of L-methionine with different organic sources (tryptone, peptone and yeast extract) and different of 82 amino acids (L-form), (asparagine and glutamine) with L- methionine mixed with different nitrogen sources (1. 25g\ L) were used. Mixed of L-glutamine and peptone (0.75-1.75g\ L) were added to the fermentation medium, in the presence and absence of glycerol (3ml).
