Phosphatase was isolated from cells of the hyperthermophilic marine archaeon Thermococcus pacificus by a procedure including chromatography on Butyl‐Fractogel TSK‐650 and Ni2+‐iminodiacetic‐agarose. Enzyme activity is maximal at 90°C, and the enzyme half‐life time at this temperature is 1 h. The pH optimum of phosphatase activity is 6.0. Electrophoresis under denaturating conditions yielded a subunit molecular weight of 45 kDa. On gel‐filtration on Sephacryl S‐300 HR three peak corresponding to 295, 85 and 45 kDa were observed, suggesting that the enzyme is a homohexamer.
