Effect of organic solvents on the activity of tannase from Enterobacter cloacae MTCC 9125 was studied. At 20% (v/v) concentration, the enzyme activity was strongly elevated by DMSO, diethylether and acetonitrile. A slight increase in enzyme activity was also observed in the presence of ethyl acetate, toluene and isoamyl alcohol. The enzyme was strongly inhibited by xylene and pyrimidine with almost complete loss of activity. At 40% (v/v) concentration, the enzyme activity was strongly elevated by acetone, isopropanol, tetrafuran and DMSO. It was also found to be partially stable in xylene, diethyl ether, DMF, methanol, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile and ethanol. At 40% concentration of toluene, the enzyme was completely denatured.
