Aspergillus sp. (Aspergillus saitoi)

type

Type XIII

form

solid

specific activity

≥0.6 unit/mg solid

foreign activity

alkaline protease, essentially free

storage temp.

−20°C

Application

Protease from Aspergillus saitoi has been used in a study to assess sequence coverage and resolution in hydrogen exchange of large proteins. It has also been used in a study to investigate the conversion of soybean curd isoflavone glycosides to their aglycones through β-glucosidase..

Biochem/physiol Actions

Protease from Aspergillus saitoi was shown to also function as a β-glucosidase.

Unit Definition

One unit will hydrolyze hemoglobin to produce color equivalent to 1.0 μmole (181 μg) of tyrosine per min at pH 2.8 at 37 °C (color by Folin-Ciocalteu reagent).

The broad-spectrum antibacterial activity exhibited by three Pediococcus strains isolated from beer was preliminarily characterized. Factors affecting the production rate of bacterial inhibitors were screened and the effects of simultaneous cultivation of Lactococcus and Pediococcus on the production of inhibitory
