A lipase gene of about 1.3 kb was cloned and sequenced from Geobacillus stearothermophilus strain DSMZ 1550. Nucleotide sequence homology analysis showed that the target gene sequence was completely identical to a published sequence (GenBank accession no. AF237623) from Bacillus stearothermophilus P1. The lipase gene was cloned into pET-28c (+) to construct an expression plasmid (pET-28c(+)-lipase), which was transformed into E. coli BL21 for expression. The cultivation parameters of the expression vector harboring strain were optimized to produce the lipase efficiently. The optimal conditions were determined as following: induction at middle stage of exponential growth (OD600 1.09) with 0.5 mM isopropylthio-d-galactoside (IPTG), induction temperature 28℃and post-induction expression for 6 h. Under the above conditions, the specific activity of lipase reached 1.89 IU/mg. Some characteristics of crude recombinant lipase were also investigated. The optimum pH and temperature of the crude lipase were 8.5 and 55℃. The enzyme activity was strongly inhibited by Zn2+, Fe2+, and phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF).
