General description

Bacterial protease produced by submerged fermentation of a selected strain of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens

Application

Protease from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens has been used for the unhairing of hides and skins. It has also been used in a study to investigate peptide bond formation using the carbamoylmethyl ester as the acyl donor.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Secretion of protease by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens can be inhibited by treatment with the fatty acid synthetase inhibitor cerulenin.

Neutrase, used for hydrolysis of wheat proteins, was inhibited by end-product in a competitive uncompetitive way. The inhibition ratio depends on the progress of protein hydrolysis (degree of hydrolysis) and it remains constant beyond a degree of hydrolysis of 7.5%.
