Abstract: Aeromonas sp. from Lamellidens marginalis produced L-asparaginase when grown at 37°C. The optimum enzyme activity was at pH 9 when temperature was 45°C. Half-life of partially purified enzyme at 50°C and 55°C was 35 and 20 min, respectively. Activation and deactivation energies of partially purified enzyme were 17.48 and 24.86 kcal mol-1 respectively. The enzyme exhibited a Km(L-asparagine) value of 4.9 ×10-6 mol 1-1 and a Vmax of 9.803 IU ml-1. Three metal ions inhibited the enzyme activity at 10-20 μmol-1 concentrations. Catalytic activity was also inhibited by EDTA, iodoacetic acid, parach loromercuribenzoic acid and phenylmethylsulphonyl fluoride at 0.1 μ mol 1-1.
