Citrobacter braakii phytase

Phytase is an enzyme that breaks down phytic acid. This particular phytase was cloned from Citrobacter braakii, a gram-negative bacteria. This phytase acts to break down phytic acid into inositol, releasing phosphate groups on the phytate. If the phytate has chelated any other particle, phytase should break down the phytate to the point where the chelated particle is released.

Usage and Biology

Once expressed, the E. coli cell had to be lysed in order to release the phytase into the extra-cellular environment. We used Part:BBa_K112808 in order to lyse the cell. Once the phytase is released it is free to act upon the phytic acid.
