In current study, lipase from a thermotolerant TTP-06 was purified in a stepwise manner by using ammonium sulfate precipitation and column chromatography. Thenceforth, it was subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate- and native-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to check the homogeneity of the purified enzyme. The ideal substrate concentration, pH, temperature, reaction duration and lipase specificity were identified.

With an aim to identify genes responsible for adapting in vitro acidic stress of M. fortuitum, in the previous study, TnphoA random mutagenesis identified acid susceptible mutant MT727, with mutation in ribosomal maturation factor encoding gene rimP, to be mutated.
