| Characterisation of a Neutral Protease Produced by Micrococcus luteus  | | | Abstract
| A proteolytic enzyme produced by a cassava-ferment ing strain of Micrococcus luteus was extracted and puri fied 50-fold by gel filtration and ion exchange chroma tography. The optimum pH for the enzyme was 7.0, the opti mum temperature 25 °C, the apparent molecular weight 42 kDa and the K m value, 0.45 mg m l-1 with casein as substrate. The enzyme was stimulated by Ca2+ and Mg2+ but inhibited by Zn2+ and Co2+ ions. Other inhibitors were EDTA, KCN, citric acid and L-cysteine indicating the enzyme to be a metalloprotease. | | |
