Abstract:

Objective: Investigations were carried out to isolate bacteria from saline-alkali soils and determined optimized alkaline protease activity and stability produced by a wild strain of bacillus sp. in submerged fermentation (SMF). Methods: Optimum temperature for enzyme activity in the crude extract was 40 ◦C at a pH between 8.0 and 9.0. The studies on pH stability showed that the enzyme was stable in a range of pH 7.0–10.0 and the effect of the inhibitors showed it to be possibly an alkaline protease. Stability studies revealed temperatures around 40–60 ◦C. Results: The activity was reduced in the presence of Co2+, Fe2+ and Zn2+ ions, while the presence of K+ resulted in a discreet increase in proteolytic activity. The enzyme presented good stability towards organic solvents. Organic solvents such as 2-ethyl-1-hexanol and oleyl alcohol enhanced the activity of enzyme. The enzyme presented good stability towards oxidizing agent. The crude enzyme preparation was compatible with commercial detergents, retaining their 50–60% activities. Conclusions: The results demonstrated the importance of submerged fermentation for the production of protease.

Evaluation of Ca-Independent a-Amylase Production by Bacillus sp. KR-8104 in Submerged and Solid State Fermentation Systems

This study investigates the production of crude Ca-independent and low pH active α-amylase by Bacillussp. KR-8104 in submerged fermentation (SmF) and solid-state fermentation (SSF) systems. Differentparameters were evaluated in each system using “one factor at a time” approach to improve the production ofenzyme. The results showed that in the SmF the maximum enzyme production ...

Factors affecting alfa Amylase Production on Submerged Fermentation by Bacillus sp

The production of extracellular amylase by Bacillus spp was optimized in a submerged fermentation. The production of the enzyme was maximum at 10 h after inoculation. The effect of incubation period, pH of the medium and incubation temperature was optimized. The maximum productions of enzyme were obtained at 35°C and pH 7. Key-Words: alfa-Amylase production, Submerged fermentation Introduction ...

Production and Partial Characterization of an Extracellular Phytase Produced by Muscodor sp. under Submerged Fermentation

In most of the raw materials of plant origin used in animal feed, a portion of the phosphorus is stored as phytic acid or phytate. Phytate is the main storage form of phosphorus in vegetables but is not readily assimilated into food at low concentrations of the enzyme phytase. In addition to making phosphorous unavailable, phytate binds divalent cations such as calcium, copper, magnesium, iron,...
