Studies on the Microbial Pigment(IV)

미생물의 색소에 관한 연구 4

In order to study on the pigment and protease of Serratia marcescens, the correlation between protease activity and pigment formation was investigated. The results are as follows ; (1) The protease activity exhibitied two pH optima 6.0 and 7.5, respectively. (2) The optimal temeprature of proteolytic activity was $45^{\circ}C$. With these-results, it is suggested that the proteolytic enzymes of Serratia masrecescens is stable at neutral pH range and more active at the high temeprature than lthat of otehr proteolytic enzymes.
