Isolation and characterization of protease producing bacteria from upper respiratory tract of wild chicken

Abstract: Bacterial samples isolated from the upper respiratory tract of a healthy broiler chicken and a wild chicken suffering from influenza which were collected locally revealed proteolytic activity as detected by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and zymogram analysis. Among five protease producing strains screened, one was selected as promising protease producer. The activity of the protease produced by this organism is stable up to 620C. Optimum yield was achieved after 19 hours … Show more

“…Effect of pH on enzyme production was determined by adjusting pH of basal medium from 5 to 12, using Na 2 HPO 4 -NaH 2 PO 4 buffer solution (pH [5][6][7][8] and NaHCO 3 -NaOH buffer solution (pH [9][10][11][12].…”

“…Microbial proteases represent $40% of all the industrial enzyme sales throughout the world 7 . Microbial proteases consist of acidic, neutral and alkaline enzymes; furthermore, depending on the characteristics of the active site group, metallo, aspartic, cysteine and serine types may occur 7,8 . Alkaline proteases, physiologically and commercially important catalysts, are active in a neutral to alkaline pH range, holding 450% of the total enzyme market 9 .…”

“…The mixture was incubated at room temperature for 1 h. After incubation, the reaction mixture was centrifuged at 12,000× g for 5 min, and the absorbance of the supernatant was measured at 280 nm. One unit of protease is defined as the amount of enzyme that hydrolyzes casein to produce equivalent absorbance to 1 µmol of tyrosine/min with tyrosine as standard [ 47 ].…”

“…The clear zone formed around the colony was due to the ability of bacterial protease to degrade the casein substrate contained in the skim milk agar media. Casein is hydrolyzed by bacterial protease to produce soluble peptides and amino acids [36,37]. hydrolysis activity of bacterial protease could be measured by calculating the ratio between the diameter of the clear zone around the bacterial colony and the diameter of the bacterial colony [38].…”
