Partitioning purification, biochemical characterization, and milk coagulation efficiency of protease from a newly Streptomyces sp. isolate. Braz J Microbiol 2024:10.1007/s42770-024-01386-y. [PMID: 38874743 DOI: 10.1007/s42770-024-01386-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2023] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024] Open
Abstract
An actinobacteria strain was isolated from an olive waste mill and tested for protease production on skimmed milk media. The strain identification was achieved through both 16 S rDNA sequencing and phenotypic characterization. The enzyme was purified using the ammonium sulfate/t-butanol three-phase partitioning (TPP) method, followed by characterization to investigate the effect of pH, temperature, and various chemical agents. Subsequently, the enzyme was assessed for its milk coagulation activity. The strain belonging to the Streptomyces genera, exhibits significant phylogenetic and phenotypic differences from the aligned species, suggesting its novelty as a new strain. The enzyme was best separated in the TPP aqueous phase with a 5.35 fold and 56.25% yield. Optimal activity was observed at pH 9.0 and 60 °C, with more than half of the activity retained within the pH range of 7-10 over one hour. The protease demonstrated complete stability between 30 and 60 °C. While metallic ions enhanced enzyme activity, EDTA acted as an inhibitor. The enzyme displayed resistance to H2O2, SDS, Tween 80, and Triton X-100. Notably, it was activated in organic solvents (ethyl acetate, petroleum ether, and xylene), maintaining > 75% of its original activity in butanol, ethanol, and methanol. Additionally, the enzyme yielded high milk coagulant activity of 11,478 SU/mL. The new Streptomyces sp. protease revealed high activity and stability under a wide range of biochemical conditions. Its use in the dairy industry appears particularly promising. Further industrial process investigations will be valuable in determining potential uses for this enzyme.

Abstract
Enzymatic hydrolysis is the most prominent strategy to release bioactive peptides from different food proteins and protein-rich by-products. Unconventional microbial proteases (UMPs) have gaining increased attention for such purposes, particularly from the 2010s. In this review, we present and discuss aspects related to UMPs production, and their use to obtain bioactive protein hydrolysates. Antioxidant and anti-hypertensive potentials, commonly evaluated through in vitro testing, are mainly reported. The in vivo bioactivities of protein hydrolysates and peptides produced through UMPs action are highlighted. In addition to bioactivities, enzymatic hydrolysis acts by modulating the functional properties of proteins for potential food uses. The compiled literature indicates that UMPs are promising biocatalysts to generate bioactive protein hydrolysates, adding up to commercially available enzymes. From the recent interest on this topic, continuous and in-depth research is needed to advance toward the applicability and commercial utility of both UMPs and obtained hydrolysates.

Marine Actinobacteria a New Source of Antibacterial Metabolites to Treat Acne Vulgaris Disease—A Systematic Literature Review. Antibiotics (Basel) 2022; 11:antibiotics11070965. [PMID: 35884220 PMCID: PMC9311749 DOI: 10.3390/antibiotics11070965] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2022] [Revised: 07/12/2022] [Accepted: 07/13/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Acne vulgaris is a multifactorial disease that remains under-explored; up to date it is known that the bacterium Cutibacterium acnes is involved in the disease occurrence, also associated with a microbial dysbiosis. Antibiotics have become a mainstay treatment generating the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In addition, there are some reported side effects of alternative treatments, which indicate the need to investigate a different therapeutic approach. Natural products continue to be an excellent option, especially those extracted from actinobacteria, which represent a prominent source of metabolites with a wide range of biological activities, particularly the marine actinobacteria, which have been less studied than their terrestrial counterparts. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to identify and evaluate the potential anti-infective activity of metabolites isolated from marine actinobacteria strains against bacteria related to the development of acne vulgaris disease. It was found that there is a variety of compounds with anti-infective activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis, bacteria closely related to acne vulgaris development; nevertheless, there is no report of a compound with antibacterial activity or quorum-sensing inhibition toward C. acnes, which is a surprising result. Since two of the most widely used antibiotics for the treatment of acne targeting C. acnes were obtained from actinobacteria of the genus Streptomyces, this demonstrates a great opportunity to pursue further studies in this field, considering the potential of marine actinobacteria to produce new anti-infective compounds.
