PURIFICATION AND PROPERTIES OF AN EXTRACELLULAR PROTEASE PRODUCED BY PENICIUIUM EXPANSUM

Authors: not saved
Abstract:

Penicilliurn expamum grown in a medium with rice husk as a carbon source produced an extracellular protease. The protease enzyme was isolated from culture broth by fractionation with acetone and column chromatography on Sephadex G- 100 and DEAE A-50. The protease enzyme was purified about 17.47 fold, with a recovery of 14%. The purified protease was homogenous on SDS polyacrylarnide disc gel electrophoresis and molecular weight was calculated to be 28000. The optimum activity of protease was found at pH 7.5 and temperature 30°C. The enzyme activity was enhanced on addition of Ca , Zn , Co and Mn whereas inhibition was observed in the presence of EDTA, Hg and Ag . Addition of cysteine and 2- mercaptoethanol did not produce any significant effect on protease activity

Purification and Properties of an Extracellular Protease Produced by the Entomopathogenic Fungus Beauveria bassiana.

Beauveria bassiana GK2016 grown in a medium with gelatin as the sole carbon and nitrogen source produced an extracellular protease. The protease production was highest when the fungus was grown on a semiliquid medium and was purified about 18-fold, with a recovery of 21%. The protease molecular weight was estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to be about 35,000....

Purification and properties of an extracellular blastogen produced by group A streptococci

An extracellular product of group A streptococci which induces lymphocyte blastogenesis has been purified to homogeneity by DEAE-cellulose and CM-cellulose chromatography. The protein, termed streptococcal blastogen A, has a mol wt of approximately or equal to 17,500 and is inactivated by protease treatment and by heating at 100 degrees C. The purified blastogen gave rise to multiple protein ba...

Purification and biochemical characterization of polygalacturonase produced by penicillium expansum during postharvest decay of 'Anjou' pear.

A polygalacturonase (PG) was extracted and purified from decayed tissue of 'Anjou' pear fruit inoculated with Penicillium expansum. Ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration, and cation exchange chromatography were used to purify the enzyme. Both chromatographic methods revealed a single peak corresponding to PG activity. PG enzyme activity from healthy and wounded pear tissue was undetect...
