Optimization of the production and characterization of milk clotting enzymes by Bacillus subtilis natto
نویسندگان
چکیده
Suitable medium for production of milk clotting enzyme (MCE) by Bacillus subtilis (natto) Takahashi in submerged liquid-state fermentation was screened, the nutrient factors affecting MCE production was optimized by response surface methodology. The MCE production by B. subtilis (natto) Takahashi was increased significantly by 428% in the optimal medium developed. The MCE was filtered and concentrated by ultrafiltration. The retentate after tandem filtration carried out with the combined membranes of MWCO 50kDa and 5 kDa showed two major bands between 25kDa and 30kDa on SDS-PAGE, and the MCA and MCA/PA improved significantly in comparison with those in the initial broth. The crude enzyme thus obtained showed MCA and MCA/PA ratio of 48,000 SU/g and 6,400, which are commensurate with those (MCA 26,667 SU/g and MCA/PA 6,667) of the commercial rennet. It had optimal pH and temperature at pH 6 and 60°C, and showed excellent pH and thermal stability.

Disruption of the cell wall lytic enzyme CwlO affects the amount and molecular size of poly-γ-glutamic acid produced by Bacillus subtilis (natto).
Poly-γ-glutamic acid (γPGA), a polymer of glutamic acid, is a component of the viscosity substance of natto, a traditional Japanese food made from soybeans fermented with Bacillus subtilis (natto). Here we investigate the effects of the cell wall lytic enzymes belonging to the D,L-endopeptidases (LytE, LytF, CwlO and CwlS) on γPGA production by B. subtilis (natto). γPGA levels in a cwlO disrupt...
متن کاملAdvances in Menaquinone-7 Production by Bacillus Subtilis Natto: Fed-batch Glycerol Addition
Menaquinone-7 was produced by fermentation mainly using Bacillus subtilis species. Due to the low concentration of menaquinone-7 in fermentation processes and the associated expense of recovering the menaquinone-7, it was desirable to improve the fermentation concentration. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of fed-batch glycerol addition in the production of menaquinone-7 during...

Nattokinase is a potent fibrinolytic enzyme with the potential for fighting cardiovascular diseases. In this study, Bacillus subtilis natto were immobilized in the alginate – chitosan complex for fermentation of nattokinase enzyme. Six factors affecting the efficiency of immobilization cells were screened by Plackett – Burman design including: concentration of alginate, concentration of chitosa...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of nattokinase from Bacillus subtilis natto B-12.
Bacillus subtilis natto B-12 was isolated from natto, a traditional fermented soybean food in Japan. A fibrinolytic enzyme (B-12 nattokinase) was purified from the supernatant of B. subtilis natto B-12 culture broth and showed strong fibrinolytic activity. The enzyme was homogenously purified to 56.1-fold, with a recovery of 43.2% of the initial activity. B-12 nattokinase was demonstrated to be...
