PURIFICATION, CHARACTERIZATION AND APPLICATIONS OF THERMOSTABLE ALKALINE PROTEASE FROM MARINE STREPTOMYCES SP. D1
An extracellular alkaline protease from marine lessThan i greaterThan Streptomyces lessThan /i greaterThan sp. D1 was isolated and characterized. The protease was purified using ammonium sulfate precipitation method, followed by dialysis and Sephadex G-100 gel chromatography, with an 8.82-fold increase in specific activity and a 12.8% recovery. The molecular weight was found to be 28 kDa, determined by SDS-PAGE. The purified enzyme was completely inhibited by phenylmethylsulphonyl fluoride, indicating presence of a serine protease. Protease enzyme was found to have maximum activity at 45 lessThan sup greaterThan 0 lessThan /sup greaterThan C and pH 10, respectively. The enzyme was stable in pH range 8-10 and temperature 45-60 lessThan sup greaterThan 0 lessThan /sup greaterThan C. The enzyme was found to be halotolerant, retains 92.5% of its initial activity after 6 h. The alkaline protease was found stable in presence of non-ionic surfactant (1% Triton X-100) retains 81.5% residual activity after 48 h and 92.57 % residual activity after 6 h with oxidizing agent (1% H lessThan sub greaterThan 2 lessThan /sub greaterThan O lessThan sub greaterThan 2 lessThan /sub greaterThan ). The protease inhibited the growth of several pathogenic organisms such as lessThan i greaterThan B. subtilis, E. coli, P. aeruginosa lessThan /i greaterThan and lessThan i greaterThan S. aureus lessThan /i greaterThan . Enzyme also exhibited good hair removal activity from goat skin. These unique properties make this protease an ideal choice in food, pharmaceutical, leather and detergent industries.
