Purification and some properties of 2-hydroxychromene-2-carboxylate isomerase from naphthalenesulfonate-assimilating Pseudomonas sp. TA-2.

abstract：:When a rat hepatoma cell (R-Y121B) homogenate was incubated at 37 degrees C, 30-70% of the total alkaline phosphatase was released into the supernatant fluid from the precipitate fractions. The release reached a plateau level after 10 h of incubation at 37 degrees C. The optimum pH value for the release was 7.4. Alkal...
