چکیده
This paper reported the purification and kinetic parameters characterization of an alkaline protease produced from Bacillus subtilis through submerged fermentation process using rice husk as growth supporting substrate (by-product of rice industry) collected from Pearl Rice Mill Hafiz Abad, Faisalabad. Bacillus subtilis was cultured in fermentation medium under some pre-optimized growth conditions. Maximum alkaline protease activity of 216±4.32U/mL was obtained when fermentation medium of rice husk was inoculated with 4% (4mL/100mL) inoculum size, 7% substrate concentration at pH 11 for 48 h fermentation time period with 2% molasses as additional supplement material for fermentation medium. An alkaline protease was purified 1.49-fold with specific activity of 74.66 U/mg in comparison to crude enzyme extract using ammonium sulfate precipitation, dialysis and Sephadex-G-100 column chromatography. The enzyme was shown to have a relative low molecular weight of 27kDa by sodium dodecyl sulphate poly-acrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The enzyme displayed 10 and 45°C as an optimum pH and temperature respectively. Using casein as substrate, the enzyme showed maximum activity (V ) of 148U/mL with its corresponding K value of 58μM. Among max M activators/inhibitors EDTA and Ca gave enhancing effect on purified alkaline protease where as SDS, Tween2+ 81, Na and Hg caused enzyme inhibition and inactivation to variable extents. The specific activity and + 2+ substrate affinity of this alkaline protease from Bacillus subtilis is greater than those of other reported Bacillus sp; therefore, it was concluded that it may be potentially useful for industrial purposes.
