Isolation and screening of Streptomyces sp. Al-Dhabi-49 from the environment of Saudi Arabia with concomitant production of lipase and protease in submerged fermentation

摘要

In this study, sp. Al-Dhabi-49 was isolated from the soil sample of Saudi Arabian environment for the simultaneous production of lipase and protease in submerged fermentation. The process parameters were optimized to enhance enzymes production. The production of protease and lipase was found to be maximum after 5 days of incubation (139.2 ± 2.1 U/ml, 253 ± 4.4 U/ml). Proteolytic enzyme increases with the increase in pH up to 9.0 (147.2 ± 3.6 U/ml) and enzyme production depleted significantly at higher pH values. In the case of lipase, production was maximum in the culture medium containing pH 8.0 (166 ± 1.3 U/ml). The maximum production of protease was observed at 40 °C (174 ± 12.1 U/ml) by sp. Lipase activity was found to be optimum at the range of temperatures (30–50 °C) and maximum production was achieved at 35 °C (168 ± 7.8 U/ml). Among the evaluated carbon sources, maltose significantly influenced on protease production (218 ± 12.8 U/ml). Lipase production was maximum when sp. was cultured in the presence of glucose (162 ± 10.8U/ml). Among various concentrations of peptone, 1.0% (w/v) significantly enhanced protease production. The lipase production was very high in the culture medium containing malt extract as nitrogen source (86 ± 10.2 U/ml). Protease production was maximum in the presence of Ca as ionic source (212 ± 3.8 U/ml) and lipase production was enhanced by the addition of Mg with the fermentation medium (163.7 ± 6.2 U/ml).
