Optimization of protease production and sequence analysis of the purified enzyme from the cold adapted yeast Rhodotorula mucilaginosa CBMAI 1528
Abstract: Enzymes from cold-adapted microorganisms are of high interest to industries due to their high activity at low and mild temperatures, which makes them suitable for their use in several processes that either require a supply of exogenous energy or involve the use of heat labile products. In this work, the protease production by the strain Rhodotorula mucilaginosa CBMAI 1528, previously isolated from the Antarctic continent, was optimized, and the purified enzyme analyzed. It was found that protease production was dependent on culture medium composition and growth temperature, being 20 ºC and a culture medium containing both glucose and casein peptone (20 and 10 g/L, respectively) the optimal growing conditions in batch as well as in bioreactor.

Summary: | Abstract: Enzymes from cold-adapted microorganisms are of high interest to industries due to
their high activity at low and mild temperatures, which makes them suitable for their
use in several processes that either require a supply of exogenous energy or involve
the use of heat labile products. In this work, the protease production by the strain
Rhodotorula mucilaginosa CBMAI 1528, previously isolated from the Antarctic
continent, was optimized, and the purified enzyme analyzed. It was found that protease
production was dependent on culture medium composition and growth temperature,
being 20 ºC and a culture medium containing both glucose and casein peptone (20
and 10 g/L, respectively) the optimal growing conditions in batch as well as in
bioreactor. |
