Stream and soil samples were screened for microorganisms that would use alginate from mucoid Pseudomonas aeruginosa as the sole carbon and energy source. A pure culture containing large aerobic rods was isolated. The cells were about 0.8 by 2.5 microns in size, had lateral or peritrichous flagella, had a negative Gram stain reaction, and produced spores on sporulation medium. Purified DNA was approximately 46 mol% G+C as measured by thermal denaturation. From these and other biochemical tests, the organism was identified as Bacillus circulans. The enzyme activity that degraded alginate appeared in the culture medium. Upon gel filtration, alginase activity eluted as a single peak at a position corresponding to a protein of 40,000 daltons. Activity recovered from this one-step, partial purification showed apparent endomannuronidase specificity. Like other alginases previously reported, the enzyme appeared likely to be a lyase (or eliminase). However, no Bacillus species or other gram-positive bacteria have heretofore been reported to produce extracellular enzymes with alginase activity. Several other B. circulans strains from the American Type Culture Collection also appeared to have inducible extracellular alginase activity.
