Optimization of cultural conditions for the production of an extracellular protease by Pseudomonas species

Abstract: The aim of the study was to identify new sources of protease and a protease producing bacteria was isolated from slaughter house soil and identified as Pseudomonas species. The protease production efficiency of the organism was measured with different environmental and nutritional parameters. Optimization of the fermentation medium for maximum protease production was carried out. The culture condition like temperature, pH, incubation time, carbon and nitrogen sources were optimized. The optimum condition found… Show more

“…Al-Saleh and Zahran (1999) studied the effect of temperature in the range of 7 to 37 °C on growth and lipase production of psychrotrophic strains of Pseudomonas fluorescens (RM4) and observed that optimum temperature for lipase production was 37 °C. Similar results were obtained by Vasantha et al (2012) who reported protease production at temperature range of 30 -50°C. However, increase in temperature beyond 50° C led to decline in production of enzyme proving that temperature plays a major role in protease production.…”

“…The pH of the culture medium strongly affects many enzymatic processes and transport of compounds across the cell membrane [18] during fermentation. Effect of initial pH on production of alkaline protease production and solubility of oxygen in the medium were investigated.…”

“…Remains of vegetables, cassava, yam and other plant crops make up plant related market waste. Research has been carried out on many other related sources for enzyme production such as slaughter house waste, dairy effluent and sewage waste [7]. These wastes produced in market places are inexpensive sources for bioconversion processes into products such as enzymes.…”
