Amino Acid Supplementation Improves the Production of Extracellular Peptidases by Aspergillus Section Flavi and their Ionic Immobilization

Abstract Bioprocess studies have been highlighted due to the importance of physiological processes and industrial applications of enzymes. The potential of peptidase production from Aspergillus section Flavi using different amino acids as a supplemental nitrogen source was investigated. A production prof...

In vitro evaluation of hydrolytic enzyme activity and biofilm formation of Candida parapsilosis species complex from a nosocomial environment

Abstract INTRODUCTION: Candida parapsilosis complex species, frequently found in hospital environments, have gained importance as etiological agents of candidemia. METHODS: Candida parapsilosis complex isolates from a nosocomial environment were identified and their hydrolitic enzyme activity and abili...

Simultaneous production of amylases and proteases by Bacillus subtilis in brewery wastes

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (3), 2016
ABSTRACT The simultaneous production of amylase (AA) and protease (PA) activity by Bacillus subtilis UO-01 in brewery wastes was studied by combining the response surface methodology with the kinetic study of the process. The optimum conditions (T = 36.0 °C and pH = 6.8) for high biomass production (0.9...

Enhanced production and organic solvent stability of a protease fromBrevibacillus laterosporus strain PAP04

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 49 (4), 2016
A bacterial strain (PAP04) isolated from cattle farm soil was shown to produce an extracellular, solvent-stable protease. Sequence analysis using 16S rRNA showed that this strain was highly homologous (99%) to Brevibacillus laterosporus. Growth conditions that optimize protease production in this strain ...

Fibrinolytic protease production by new Streptomyces sp: DPUA 1576 from Amazon lichens

Electron. j. biotechnol; 18 (1), 2015
Background Streptomyces sp. DPUA 1576 from Amazon lichens was studied to protease and fibrinolytic production. A 2² factorial experimental design was applied to optimize its protease enzyme production using two independent variables, namely soybean flour and glucose concentrations. Results The optimal c...
