This work presents a comprehensive study between the polymer/salt aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) and chromatography process for downstream processing of recombinant Bacillus badius phenylalanine dehydrogenase (PheDH). First, the partitioning behavior of recombinant PheDH in polyethylene glycol (PEG)/K₂HPO₄ ATPS was examined. For comparative purpose, a classical chromatographic protocol was performed as well. Investigation of chromatography and ATPS procedures revealed that the ATPS comprising of 9% (w/w) PEG-6000, 16% (w/w) K₂HPO₄ and 16% (w/w) KCl with pH of 8.0, volume ratio (V R ) of 0.25, temperature of 25 °C and 40% (w/w) cell lysate ensured the most favorable approach for PheDH downstream process. A specific activity of 4,231.4 U/mg, a yield of 96.7% and a recovery of 162.0% were obtained. Furthermore, the shorter process time (4 vs. 48 h) and the lower total cost (4 vs. 20 €) were additionally features that confirmed the suitability of proposed technique.
