Abstract

Mannitol-binding protein from Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain PAO has been purified 36-fold from magnesium chloride cold-shock supernatants. Sephadex G-100 gel filtration and carboxymethyl Sephadex ion exchange chromotography were utilized in the purification scheme. The position of the mannitol-binding protein band was identified on sodium dodeyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. The mannitol-binding protein has an apparent molecular weight of 45,000 as judged by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
