Cold-active extracellular lipases produced by different psychrotrophs are important for various industrial applications. We have isolated a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, aerobe, non-pigment producing psychrotrophic bacterial strain RSAP17 (MTCC 12991, MCC 4275) from the unexplored Arctic soil sample of NyAlesund, Svalbard, Norway (78° 55″ N, 11° 54″ E). The detailed morphological, biochemical, and molecular characteristics were investigated to characterize the isolate RSAP17. Analyses of the 16S rDNA sequence of strain RSAP17 (Accession no. MK391379) shows the closest match with Oceanisphaera marina YM319ᵀ (99.45%) and Oceanisphaera sediminis TW92 JCM 17329ᵀ (97.40%). The isolate is capable of producing extracellular lipase but not amylase, cellulase or urease. The optimal parameters for lipase production have been found in tributyrin based (10 mL/L) agar media supplemented with 3% (w/v) NaCl after 2–3 days of incubation at 20–22 °C temperature and pH 9 at shaking condition. We have purified the extracellular lipase from the RSAP17 grown culture supernatant through 75% ammonium sulfate precipitation followed by dialysis and DEAE cellulose column chromatography. The invitro lipolytic activity of the purified lipase enzymes has been done through zymogram analysis. The molecular weight found for the lipase is 103.8 kD. The optimal activity of the purified lipase has been found at 25 °C and pH 9. MALDI-TOF-MS study of the purified lipase showed the highest match with the sequence of prolipoprotein diacylglyceryl transferase with 44% sequence coverage. Further study on large-scale production, substrate utilization and enzymatic kinetics of this lipase could unravel its possibility in future biotechnological applications.
