Production of Proteinase with Plasmin-Like and Prekallikrein Activating Activity by the Micromycete Aspergillus terreus

Аннотация

The effect of nitrogen sources in the fermentation medium and the cultivation conditions on the production of proteinases with plasmin-like and prekallikrein activation activity by micromycete Aspergillus terreus 2 was investigated. The highest secretion of proteinases was achieved when the micromycete was cultivated on a medium containing both amine- and mineral nitrogen sources at an initial pH of 5.5 and at 28°С. It was established that the extracellular micromycete proteinases are equally capable of hydrolyzing fibrin and fibrinogen.
