Cholesterol oxidase was isolated from Nocardia rhodochrous and purified on a bench scale to produce an analytical-grade enzyme preparation. The integral membrane protein was solubilized using a mixed non-ionic polyoxyethylene surfactant solution and selectively extracted after temperature-induced phase separation starting from unclarified broth of Nocardia rhodochrous. We present a simple two-step method for recycling the detergent used for protein extraction and demonstrate the successful coupling of conventional techniques such as anion-exchange chromatography to an initial surfactant-based protein-extraction step for final product purification. 2-Methylpropan-1-ol was employed for extraction of the coazervate (surfactant-enriched) phase to remove and recycle the surfactant. After anion-exchange chromatography, a 160-fold purified enzyme (sp. activity of 16 units/mg) suitable for analytical applications was obtained with an overall yield of 80%.
