Physical factors affecting the production of organic solvent-tolerant protease by Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain K

Abstract: The physical factors affecting the production of an organic solvent-tolerant protease from Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain K was investigated. Growth and protease production were detected from 37 to 45 degrees C with 37 degrees C being the optimum temperature for P. aeruginosa. Maximum enzyme activity was achieved at static conditions with 4.0% (v/v) inoculum. Shifting the culture from stationary to shaking condition decreased the protease production (6.0-10.0% v/v). Extracellular organic solvent-tolerant protea… Show more

“…S. albolongus preferred medium with neutral pH for maximum enzyme production, but maximum protease activities S. aburaviensis was obtained in medium having initial p H 8.0. Production of microbial proteases in neutral and alkaline medium p H was also reported by other authors [25][26][27]. Temperature is an important environmental factor for growth and enzyme production.…”

“…Caseinolytic activity was measured by the photometric method of Rahman et al (20). One unit (U) of protease activity is equivalent to 0.5 µg of tyrosine liberated by 1.0 ml of enzyme solution under the assay conditions.…”

“…Trabalhando com rizóbios, Oliveira et al (2006b) concluíram que a atividade amilolítica de alguns isolados estão sujeitas às variações de pH do meio sólido, com as maiores atividades ocorrendo em pH 6,5. Apesar da importância da temperatura na produção de enzimas microbianas (Rahman et al 2005), dados sobre o efeito dessa variável na atividade enzimática de rizóbios em meio sólido são raros, ou mesmo inexistentes na literatura. O presente estudo objetivou avaliar semiquantitativamente, em meio sólido, a influência de diferentes pH e temperatura sobre a atividade amilolítica de rizóbios nativos da Amazônia Central.…”

“…Quanto à temperatura, as maiores atividades foram registradas a 25 e 35 ºC (Tabela 1). Segundo Rahman et al (2005), ao provocar alterações nas propriedades físicas da membrana celular, a temperatura afeta, também, a síntese de enzimas extracelulares. De uma forma geral, esses resultados sugerem a natureza mesofílica das amilases produzidas pelos isolados.…”
