Bacillus Subtilis Lipase A (BSAL) is a lipase from Bacillus Subtilis XF-1. It was found during a metagenomic analysis of restaurant wastewater containing high levels of FOG (fat oil and grease)[1]; we therefore believe that it works very well in high lipid environments, however, that is left to be tested. Although it contains no secretion tag, it did not appear toxic when added to BL21 E.Coli, therefore it is not toxic to the cell. The lipase is not naturally excreted, E.Coli BL21 cells containing the lipase were positive for lipid activity using a p nitrophenol test (more details can be found in the Warwick iGem 2019 wiki) only when the cells were lysed using a sonicator, supernatants of cell cultures likewise did not show any lipase activity.

Bacillus Subtilis Lipase

Bacillus Subtilis Lipase A (BSAL) is a lipase from Bacillus Subtilis XF-1; identified during a metagenomic analysis of restaurant wastewater containing high levels of FOGS (fat oil and grease)[1]. The organism appears to express a suitability to thrive in high lipid environments, although there is not yet data to support these assumptions. The lipase contains no secretion tag, and does not express noticeable toxicity when added to E.Coli BL21. The enzyme is not secreted, but cells containing the lipase demonstrated a positive lipase activity in a p-Nitrophenol test. The p-Nitrophenol octanoate (pNPO) substrate undergoes lipolysis via BSAL enzyme action to become p-Nitrophenol (pNP), causing increased absorption of light at a wavelength of 400nm. In order for the lipase activity to be observed the cells had to be lysed using a sonicator. Supernatants of cell cultures were not sufficient in providing lipase activity.

The Bacillus Subtilis lipase has a kDa of 24.1, based on the amino acid sequence and has an expected molar absorption coefficent of 24410 M-1 cm-1 (values found through the ProtoPam ExPaSy tool).


Protein Kinetics

Figure 1. BSAL Kinetics Characterisation via Lineweaver-Burk Plot.Bacillus Subtilis lipase has a BSAL has a Km of 0.349mM and a Vmax of 0.00486 mM/min at pH 7 using p-nitrophenol octanoate as a substrate.

The Km and Vmax of the lipase were tested and characterized using a p nitrophenol octanoate assay.

Structure and domains of BSAL

BSAL contains an EstA triacylglycerol lipase conserved region, which makes up a large proportion of its total length. It also shares similarities with iGEM part {BBa_K258006} (Thermostable Lipase A)
