Abstract
Psychrotrophs producing protease were isolated during ripening periods of Cheddar cheese and one of them containing the highest protease activity was identified as Pseudomonas fluorescens 65. The extracelluar proteolytic enzyme was partially purified from P. fluorescens 65 through the Sephadex G-100 gel filtration. The protease was eluted between 190 ml and 230 ml of elution volume of sodium phosphate buffer. The purified protease showed a single band in SDS-PAGE and its molecular weight was 47,000. The composition of amino acid for the protease was determined and the most abundant amino acids were glutamic acid (14.96%) and serine (13.86%). The optimum temperature and pH for the activity was
체다치즈 숙성기간 중 존재하는 저온성세균을 분리하여 단백질분해능이 우수한 균주를 선발하였고 이 선발된 균주가 생산하는 효소의 특성을 연구하였다. 체다치즈 숙성기간 중 미생물의 변화를 관찰한 결과 내냉성세균이 일정하게 유지되고 있었는데 그 중 200개의 균주를 1차 선발한 후 단백질분해능이 우수한 균주 3개를 분리, 동정한 결과 P. fluorescens 두 종과 A. denitrificans였다. 그 중 활력이 가장 높은 P. fluorescens 65가 생산하는 효소를 gel filtration에 의해 정제한 결과
