Purification and properties of a milk-clotting enzyme produced by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens D4

Abstract: The milk-clotting enzyme from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens D4 was purified to 17.2-fold with 20% recovery by precipitation in ammonium sulfate and ion-exchange chromatography. The molecular mass of the enzyme was 58.2 kDa as determined by SDS-PAGE, and it was proved to be a metalloprotease by EDTA inhibition. The enzyme was active in the pH range 5.5-7.0 and was inactivated completely by heating at 55 o C for 20 min. The highest level of enzyme activity was obtained at 65 o C, pH 5.5, in the presence of 25 mM Ca… Show more

“…Milk clotting acid protease (religiosin) was reported from the latex of Ficus religiosa belonging to the serine protease group (Kumari, Sharma, & Jagannadham, 2010). Milk-clotting enzyme (YS-1) with high specificity to the substrate b-casein was purified and identified as a metalloproteinase from Bacillus subtilis (Li et al, 2012) and from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens D4 (He et al, 2011). Purification and characterisation of a milkclotting serine protease from Bacillus licheniformis strain USC13 was also reported (Ageitos, Vallejo, Sestelo, Poza, & Villa, 2007).…”

“…However, attention has been focused on the production of milk-clotting enzymes (MCEs) from microbial sources for use as rennin substitutes (Ayhan et al 2001 ; Cavalcanti et al 2004 ; Hashem 1999 ; Silveira et al 2005 ). Although there are many microorganisms that produce MCEs (Ding et al 2011 ; He et al 2011 ; Li et al 2012 ; Vishwanatha et al 2010 ), only the MCEs produced by strains of Rhizomucor miehei , Rhizomucor pusillus var. Lindt , Aspergillus oryzae and Enthothia parasitica are widely used (Birkkjaer & Jonk 1985 ; Crawford 1985 ; Thakur et al 1990a ).…”

“…We recently reported several bacteria producing milk-clotting enzyme isolated from the yak grazing soil in the north-eastern Tibetan Plateau. Among these bacteria, B. amyloliquefaciens D4 possessed high rennet-producing capacity in wheat bran juice [14,15]. The objective of this work was to attempt to optimize the culture conditions to increase milk-clotting enzyme production from wheat bran by B. amyloliquefaciens D4.…”
