چکیده
We proved that our improved egg york agar medium was useful for the semiquantitative estimation of the protease production as well as for the de tection of protease-producing strains of various bacteria. The results obtained by this method suggested that bacterial extracellular proteases might play an important role in the pathogenicity of opportunistic pathogens.

Background & Aims: Pseudomonas aeruoginosa is an opportunistic pathogen and an important cause of nosocomial infections. Different factors are involved in the pathogenicity of this bacterium. This study was performed to compare some factors associated with the virulence of clinical and environmental isolates of P. aeruoginosa. Methods: The present study was performed on 25 environmental isolate...
متن کاملStudy on Activity and Stability of Proteases from Bacillus Sp. Produced by Submerged Fermentation
Objective: Investigations were carried out to isolate bacteria from saline-alkali soils and determined optimized alkaline protease activity and stability produced by a wild strain of bacillus sp. in submerged fermentation (SMF). Methods: Optimum temperature for enzyme activity in the crude extract was 40 ◦C at a pH between 8.0 and 9.0. The studies on pH stability showed that the enzyme...
متن کاملPurification and Characterization of 50 kDa Extracellular Metalloprotease from Serratia sp. ZF03
Background: Proteolytic enzymes have an important role in variety of physiological and pathological functions. They have been used in therapeutic and pharmaceutical applications. Characterizations of extracellular proteases from various strains of S. marcescens indicate that most strains produce a very similar major metalloprotease. This metalloprotease (serrapeptidase, serrapeptase) is an impo...
متن کاملA novel low molecular weight extracellular protease from a moderately halophilic bacterium Salinivibrio sp. strain MS-7: production and biochemical properties
Kinetics of bacterial growth and protease production were monitored on a novel isolated moderately halophilic bacterium, Salinivibrio sp. strain MS-7, and maximum growth and protease activity was achieved after 48 hours at 30°C and 180 rpm. To determine the effect of various carbon sources on protease production, glucose, lactose, sucrose and maltose were investigated and maximum production of...
