【Abstract】 To select thermophilic-protease-producing strains through screening isolates derive from high temperature habitant. Strains screening were conducted by testing isolates from high temperature environment by using a medium with skim milk as the sole carbon and sole nitrogen sources. The species were determined by morphological,physiological and biochemical characteristics together with 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The crude enzyme preparation,derived from ammonium sulfate precipitation,was used for characterizing its enzymatic conditions. The gene sequence encoding high temperature protease was cloned,and then heterologously expressed in E. coli. A thermophilic protease producing strain G1201 was selected for its thermophilic -protease-producing potential. It was identified as Geobacillus thermoleovorans. The size of the thermophilic protease was 52.5 kD,belonging to serine protease family. The optimal temperature and pH for the enzyme were found at 70 ℃ and pH 9.0,respectively. The enzyme activity was improved with the addition of Ca²⁺,Mg²⁺,Tween 20 and TritonX-100 at proper concentrations,respectively. Heterologous expression in E coli succeeded with the enzyme produced in the form of inclusion body,and followed renaturation resulted in a heterologous expressed enzyme preparation at 0.108 mg/mL. The thermophilic protease produced by G thermoleovorans G1201 could tolerate the high temperature processing conditions as found in feed,detergen and food industries processes. Further investigation was deserved thanks to its decent industrial application potential.更多还原
