Abstract. Rahayu HM, Putri WA, Khasanah AU, Sembiring L, Purwestri YA. 2021. Indigenous Streptomyces spp. isolated from Cyperus
rotundus rhizosphere indicate high mercuric reductase activity as a potential bioremediation agent. Biodiversitas 22: 1519-1526. The
purification and characterization of mercuric reductase of four indigenous Streptomyces spp. from Cyperus rotundus L. rhizosphere in
mercury-contaminated area have been investigated. Cell-free extract was obtained by disrupting cells using sea sand at 4 °C followed by
centrifugation. Mercuric reductase was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, dialysis, and chromatography column (DEAE
Sepharose anion column chromatography). The determination of optimum pH and temperature of mercuric reductase activity was
measured based on the number of NADPH2 oxidized to NADP per mg protein per minute using a spectrophotometer. The molecular
weight of mercuric reductase was determined using SDS-PAGE. Result showed that the highest specific activity of mercuric reductase
was recorded from Streptomyces spp. BR28. The optimum pH and temperature of cell-free extract enzyme mercuric reductase were 7.5
and 80 °C, respectively. The enzyme was purified to 431.87-fold with specific activity 21918.95 U/mg protein. SDS PAGE showed that
the molecular weight of mercuric reductase in Streptomyces spp. BR 28 ranged from 50 kDa to 75 kDa. It can be concluded that
Streptomyces isolates contain mercuric reductase and have potential as mercury bioremediation agent to overcome mercury
contamination in the environment.
