Butt MQ, Zeeshan N, Ashraf NM, Akhtar MA, Ashraf H, Afroz A, Shaheen A, Naz S. Environmental impact and diversity of protease-producing bacteria in areas of leather tannery effluents of Sialkot, Pakistan. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2021; 28:54842-54851. [PMID: 34021452 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-021-14477-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2020] [Accepted: 05/14/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Massive discharge of wastes produced by the processing of leather so far confers the most important environmental challenge facing the tanneries worldwide. Waste material from tanneries mostly consists of skin remnants and proteinaceous substances as by-products of leather processing. In these conditions, protease-producing bacteria play a vital role in degrading wastes in this sludge. Therefore, an investigation was made to study the effect of long-term tannery sludge contamination on the diversity of both protease-producing microbes and of bacterial extracellular proteases near tanneries of Sambrial and Sialkot. The high amount of carbon and nitrogen in the soil samples reflected their effect on the diversity of the microbial communities in these areas. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences suggest that the isolated proteolytic bacteria belonged to 9 different genera including Pseudomonas (26.19%), Proteus (19.04%), Serratia (16.66%), Klebsiella (14.28%), Providencia (9.52%), Achromobacter (7.14%), Enterobacter (2.38%), Myroides (2.38%), and Acinetobacter (2.38%). Enzyme activity showed that among all Pseudomonas and Proteus showed relatively high protease production, and inhibition studies revealed that proteases produced by all isolates were strongly inhibited by serine and/or metalloprotease inhibitors, and a smaller proportion was inhibited by inhibitors of cysteine and/or aspartic proteases. Furthermore, isolated bacteria revealed promising degradation activities against casein and/or gelatin with only a few that could hydrolyze elastin, suggesting proteases produced by these isolated bacteria belong to different classes of proteases, i.e., serine and metalloproteases. This study provided new insights on the community structure of cultivable protease-producing bacteria near tannery sludge of Sambrial and Sialkot. This study would be beneficial not only for establishing the way for effective degradation of tannery slugs but also for questing the novel properties of proteases for a future technological application.

Abstract
Intravascular thrombosis is a prime cause of cardiac complications worldwide. Microbial fibrinolytic proteases are of clinical significance in thrombosis treatment. The present study discusses the purification and characterization of a protease from Bacillus cereus S46, ascertaining its in vitro thrombolytic activity against a blood clot. By the three-step purification involving precipitation, dialysis, and diethylaminoethyl-cellulose ion-exchange chromatography, a 12.37-fold purification of the enzyme to homogeneity was achieved. The apparent molecular mass of the protease was 30 kDa, as found by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The optimum activity of the enzyme was observed at pH 8.0 and 40°C. The enzyme retained an 82.19% residual activity at pH 8.0 and 40°C for 1 h. The Km and Vmax values of the protease with casein were 0.0027 mM and 9.712 µmol/min, respectively. In an in vitro assay, the purified protease resulted in 97.02% lysis of the blood clot. The fibrinolytic potential of the enzyme, together with its characteristics of being active and stable under near-physiological conditions, may suggest its application as a therapeutic agent.

Abstract
Xylanase is a member of an important family of enzymes that has been used in many biotechnological processes. However, the overall cost of enzyme production has been the main problem in the industrial application of enzymes. To obtain maximum xylanase production, statistical approaches based on the Plackett-Burman design and response surface methodology were employed. The results of the statistical analyses demonstrated that the optimal conditions for increased xylanase production were the following: inoculum size, 3.8%; maize meal, 4.5%; histidine, 0.6%; methanol, 1%; culture volume, 20%; bean pulp, 30 g L-1; and Tween-80, 0.8%; and pH 5.0. Verification of the optimization demonstrated that 3273 U mL-1 xylanase was observed under the optimal conditions in shake flask experiments. SDS-PAGE results showed that the size of xylanase protein was about 23 kDa. The results showed that the xylanase produced by fermentation came from Aspergillus Niger by MALDI-TOF-MS. The optimized medium resulted in 2.1- and 1.4-fold higher the activity of xylanase compared with the unoptimized medium (the main nutrients are maize meal and bean pulp) and laboratory medium (the main nutrients are yeast extract and peptone), respectively. The optimization of fermentation conditions is an effective means to reduce production cost and improve xylanase activity.

Abstract
The extreme environments within the biosphere are inhabited by organisms known as extremophiles. Lately, these organisms are attracting a great deal of interest from researchers and industrialists. The motive behind this attraction is mainly related to the desire for new and efficient products of biotechnological importance and human curiosity of understanding nature. Organisms living in common "human-friendly" environments have served humanity for a very long time, and this has led to exhaustion of the low-hanging "fruits," a phenomenon witnessed by the diminishing rate of new discoveries. For example, acquiring novel products such as drugs from the traditional sources has become difficult and expensive. Such challenges together with the basic research interest have brought the exploration of previously neglected or unknown groups of organisms. Extremophiles are among these groups which have been brought to focus and garnering a growing importance in biotechnology. In the last few decades, numerous extremophiles and their products have got their ways into industrial, agricultural, environmental, pharmaceutical, and other biotechnological applications.Alkaliphiles, organisms which thrive optimally at or above pH 9, are one of the most important classes of extremophiles. To flourish in their extreme habitats, alkaliphiles evolved impressive structural and functional adaptations. The high pH adaptation gave unique biocatalysts that are operationally stable at elevated pH and several other novel products with immense biotechnological application potential. Advances in the cultivation techniques, success in gene cloning and expression, metabolic engineering, metagenomics, and other related techniques are significantly contributing to expand the application horizon of these remarkable organisms of the 'bizarre' world. Studies have shown the enormous potential of alkaliphiles in numerous biotechnological applications. Although it seems just the beginning, some fantastic strides are already made in tapping this potential. This work tries to review some of the prominent applications of alkaliphiles by focusing such as on their enzymes, metabolites, exopolysaccharides, and biosurfactants. Moreover, the chapter strives to assesses the whole-cell applications of alkaliphiles including in biomining, food and feed supplementation, bioconstruction, microbial fuel cell, biofuel production, and bioremediation.

Abstract
The use of chemicals around the globe in different industries has increased tremendously, affecting the health of people. The modern world intends to replace these noxious chemicals with environmental friendly products for the betterment of life on the planet. Establishing enzymatic processes in spite of chemical processes has been a prime objective of scientists. Various enzymes, specifically microbial proteases, are the most essentially used in different corporate sectors, such as textile, detergent, leather, feed, waste, and others. Proteases with respect to physiological and commercial roles hold a pivotal position. As they are performing synthetic and degradative functions, proteases are found ubiquitously, such as in plants, animals, and microbes. Among different producers of proteases, Bacillus sp. are mostly commercially exploited microbes for proteases. Proteases are successfully considered as an alternative to chemicals and an eco-friendly indicator for nature or the surroundings. The evolutionary relationship among acidic, neutral, and alkaline proteases has been analyzed based on their protein sequences, but there remains a lack of information that regulates the diversity in their specificity. Researchers are looking for microbial proteases as they can tolerate harsh conditions, ways to prevent autoproteolytic activity, stability in optimum pH, and substrate specificity. The current review focuses on the comparison among different proteases and the current problems faced during production and application at the industrial level. Deciphering these issues would enable us to promote microbial proteases economically and commercially around the world.

Abstract
To overcome the problem that soft-sensing model cannot be updated with the bioprocess changes, this article proposed a soft-sensing modeling method which combined fuzzy c-means clustering (FCM) algorithm with least squares support vector machine theory (LS-SVM). FCM is used for separating a whole training data set into several clusters with different centers, each subset is trained by LS-SVM and sub-models are developed to fit different hierarchical property of the process. The new sample data that bring new operation information is introduced in the model, and the fuzzy membership function of the sample to each clustering is first calculated by the FCM algorithm. Then, a corresponding LS-SVM sub-model of the clustering with the largest fuzzy membership function is used for performing dynamic learning so that the model can update online. The proposed method is applied to predict the key biological parameters in the marine alkaline protease MP process. The simulation result indicates that the soft-sensing modeling method increases the model's adaptive abilities in various operation conditions and can improve its generalization ability.

Abstract
The colder regions of Earth are inhabited by cold-adapted microorganisms designated as psychrophiles that are known to produce cold-active enzymes, such as peptidases, chaperones, lipases, cellulases, and phosphatases. These types of enzymes are a major part of the market of industrial enzymes. Bacteria isolated from water samples collected from the Chamba region in the Himalayas were screened for peptidase production using skim milk agar plates. Among the peptidase-producing bacteria isolated, 20% of the isolates exhibited fast growth and maximum zones of clearance, and thus, were used for further studies. The 16S rDNA sequence analysis of isolate S1DI 10 identified it as a Bacillus sp. The peptidase was cloned in pET28a vector and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) and the His-tagged recombinant protein was purified using Ni-NTA column. The purified peptidase of SIDI 10 was found to be an alkaline, cold-active peptidase with optimal enzyme activity at 10°C and pH 8. An approach of one variable at a time was used to further study the effect of various metal ions, organic solvents and detergents on the peptidase enzyme. The peptidase activity was enhanced in the presence of Fe2+ and Mn2+ (metal ions), hexane (organic solvent), SDS- sodium dodecyl sulfate (anionic detergent) and Tween 80 (nonionic detergent). Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to determine the cumulative effect of these five variables. A 25 full factorial central composite design was applied for the five independent variables to determine the optimal combinations of these constituents at the maximum peptidase activity.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) cause high mortality throughout the world. Existing fibrinolytic agents are highly expensive and have many side effects. Microbial fibrinolytic enzymes are very much considered as novel therapeutic candidate for the treatment of CVDs. Reports on fibrinolytic enzyme from Xanthomonas sp. is lacking. This study reports fibrinolytic enzymes from Xanthomonas oryzae IND3 as it shows hyperactivity on fibrin-agarose plates. This organism utilized various agro-industrial wastes for enzymes production. Among all, cow dung enhanced more enzyme production, hence it was used as the low-cost substrate for statistical optimization of fibrinolytic protease in Solid state fermentation. Response surface methodology was employed to optimize the factors and enhanced yield by 4-fold. The interactions among the variables, viz, sucrose, yeast extract, and pH of the medium were investigated using Central Composite Design (CCD). The predicted fibrinolytic enzyme activity was 2340 U/g, and the observed fibrinolytic enzyme activity was 2294 ± 12.8 U/g. The fibrinolytic enzyme degraded blood clot in vitro completely. This study is the first report on statistical optimization of fibrinolytic enzyme production in SSF from Xanthomonas sp. The crude extract has immense activity on proteinaceous wastes. The production of fibrinolytic protease using the low-cost substrate could reduce the production cost of enzyme.

Abstract
Proteases are hydrolytic enzymes capable of degrading proteins into small peptides and amino acids. They account for nearly 60% of the total industrial enzyme market. Proteases are extensively exploited commercially, in food, pharmaceutical, leather and detergent industry. Given their potential use, there has been renewed interest in the discovery of proteases with novel properties and a constant thrust to optimize the enzyme production. This review summarizes a fraction of the enormous reports available on various aspects of alkaline proteases. Diverse sources for isolation of alkaline protease producing microorganisms are reported. The various nutritional and environmental parameters affecting the production of alkaline proteases in submerged and solid state fermentation are described. The enzymatic and physicochemical properties of alkaline proteases from several microorganisms are discussed which can help to identify enzymes with high activity and stability over extreme pH and temperature, so that they can be developed for industrial applications.

[PMID: 28321408 PMCID: PMC5340989 DOI: 10.1155/2017/3909657] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2016] [Revised: 11/30/2016] [Accepted: 12/13/2016] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
Fibrinolytic enzymes have wide applications in clinical and waste treatment. Bacterial isolates were screened for fibrinolytic enzyme producing ability by skimmed milk agar plate using bromocresol green dye, fibrin plate method, zymography analysis, and goat blood clot lysis. After these sequential screenings, Bacillus sp. IND12 was selected for fibrinolytic enzyme production. Bacillus sp. IND12 effectively used cow dung for its growth and enzyme production (687 ± 6.5 U/g substrate). Further, the optimum bioprocess parameters were found out for maximum fibrinolytic enzyme production using cow dung as a low cost substrate under solid-state fermentation. Two-level full-factorial experiments revealed that moisture, pH, sucrose, peptone, and MgSO4 were the vital parameters with statistical significance (p < 0.001). Three factors (moisture, sucrose, and MgSO4) were further studied through experiments of central composite rotational design and response surface methodology. Enzyme production of optimized medium showed 4143 ± 12.31 U/g material, which was more than fourfold the initial enzyme production (978 ± 36.4 U/g). The analysis of variance showed that the developed response surface model was highly significant (p < 0.001). The fibrinolytic enzyme digested goat blood clot (100%), chicken skin (83 ± 3.6%), egg white (100%), and bovine serum albumin (29 ± 4.9%).

Abstract
The process parameters governing the production of fibrinolytic enzyme
in solid state fermentation employing Bacillus
cereus IND5 and using cuttle fish waste and cow dung substrate were
optimized. The pH value of the medium, moisture content, sucrose, casein and
magnesium sulfate were considered for two-level full factorial design and pH, casein
and magnesium sulfate were identified as the important factors for fibrinolytic
enzyme production. Central composite design was applied to investigate the
interactive effect among variables (pH, casein and magnesium sulfate) and response
surface plots were created to find the pinnacle of process response. The optimized
levels of factors were pH 7.8, 1.1% casein and 0.1% magnesium sulfate. Enzyme
production was increased 2.5-fold after statistical approach. The enzyme was
purified up to a specific activity of 364.5 U/g proteins and its molecular weight
was 47 kDa. It was stable at pH 8.0 and was highly active at 50 °C. The mixture of
cuttle fish waste and cow dung could find great application as solid substrate for
the production of fibrinolytic enzyme.

Abstract
The discovery of plasmin-like microbial fibrinolytic enzymes having high specificity and negligible side effects is crucial for thrombolytic therapy. Herein, we report one such extra-cellular fibrinolytic enzyme producing Bacillus cereus SRM-001 isolated from the blood-laden soil of a chicken dump yard. The potency of the enzyme was established with fibrin plate assay and in-vitro blood clot lysis assay. The shake-flask operating parameters and media composition were optimized for maximizing the productivity of the enzyme. The operating parameters, pH 7, 37°C, 1% inoculum volume and 24 h inoculum age, were found to be the optimum. The levels of media components, corn flour (0.3% w/v), soyabean powder (1.9% w/v) and MnSO4 (11.5 mM) were optimized by statistical analysis using Box-Behnken design derived RSM. This resulted in an almost 1.8 fold increase in fibrinolytic enzyme productivity. The 3D response surface plots showed soyabean powder and MnSO4 to be the key ingredients for enhancing the enzyme productivity, whereas corn flour had a marginal effect. The in-vitro blood clot lysis assay conducted at near physiological pH 7 at 37°C showed the enzyme to be a potential therapeutic thrombolytic agent.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to statistically optimize the mineral components of the nutritional medium required for enhancing the production of a cold-active extracellular serine-type protease, W-Pro21717, by the Antarctic bacterium Pseudoalteromonas arctica PAMC 21717. Skim milk was identified as the major efficient inducer. Among the 12 components included in the unoptimized medium, skim milk, NaCl, Na2SO4, Fe(C6H5O7) (ferric citrate), and KCl were determined, by the Plackett-Burman and Box-Behnken design, to have a major effect on W-Pro21717 production. Fed-batch fermentation (5 L scale) using the mineral-optimized medium supplemented with concentrated skim milk (critical medium component) resulted in a W-Pro21717 activity of 53.4 U/L, a 15-fold increment in production over that obtained using unoptimized flask culture conditions. These findings could be applied to scale up the production of cold-active protease.

Abstract
Bacterial fibrinolytic enzymes find great applications to treat and prevent cardiovascular diseases. The novel fibrinolytic enzymes from food grade organisms are useful for thrombolytic therapy. This study reports fibrinolytic enzyme production by Bacillus sp. IND7 in solid-state fermentation (SSF). In this study, cow dung was used as the cheap substrate for the production of fibrinolytic enzyme. Enzyme production was primarily improved by optimizing the nutrient and physical factors by one-variable-at-a-time approach. A statistical method (two-level full factorial design) was applied to investigate the significant variables. Of the different variables, pH, starch, and beef extract significantly influenced on the production of fibrinolytic enzyme (p < 0.05). The optimum levels of these significant factors were further investigated using response surface methodology. The optimum conditions for enhanced fibrinolytic enzyme production were 1.23% (w/w) starch and 0.3% (w/w) beef extract with initial medium pH 9.0. Under the optimized conditions, cow dung substrate yielded 8,345 U/g substrate, and an overall 2.5-fold improvement in fibrinolytic enzyme production was achieved due to its optimization. This is the first report of fibrinolytic enzyme production using cow dung substrate from Bacillus sp. in SSF. The crude enzyme displayed potent activity on zymography and digested goat blood clot completely in in vitro condition.

Abstract
Agro-residues were used as the substrate for the production of fibrinolytic enzyme in solid state fermentation. In this study, two-level full factorial design (25) and response surface methodology were applied to optimize a fermentation medium for the production of fibrinolytic enzyme from the marine isolate Shewanella sp. IND20. The 25 factorial design demonstrated that the physical factors (pH and moisture) and nutrient factors (trehalose, casein, and sodium dihydrogen phosphate) had significant effect on fibrinolytic enzyme production. Central composite design was employed to search for the optimal concentration of the three factors, namely moisture, pH, and trehalose, and the experimental results were fitted with a second-order polynomial model at 99% level (p < 0.0001). The optimized medium showed 2751 U/mL of fibrinolytic activity, which was 2.5-fold higher than unoptimized medium. The molecular weight of fibrinolytic enzyme was found to be 55.5 kDa. The optimum pH and temperature were 8.0 and 50 °C, respectively.

Abstract
Recent advances in purification technologies for therapeutic molecules have stirred the research consortium. Mixed mode chromatography, having multiple interactions with the solute molecule, has drawn significant attention due to its overall advantage over traditional ion-exchange and reverse-phase chromatography. Capto adhere, a mixed mode chromatography resin with strong anion-exchange and reverse-phase interaction with solutes, was explored for purification of fibrinolytic enzyme from Bacillus sphaericus MTCC 3672. Static and dynamic resin binding study revealed that 30°C temperature, pH 8, and 0.5 mL/min flow rate were optimum for maximum binding of fibrinolytic enzyme. Maximum static dynamic binding and breakthrough capacities for Capto adhere were 249 and 196 U/mL of resin, respectively. Final purification with Sephadex G 100 gel chromatography resulted in 38-fold purity of fibrinolytic enzyme with 39% enzyme recovery. Purified enzyme was further characterized by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis to homogeneity, and molecular mass was found to be around 55-70 kD. Like most of the serine alkaline proteases, purified fibrinolytic enzyme was stable in a temperature range of 25-40°C and pH range of 7-9. Offshoots of our research findings have revealed a broad application area of mixed mode chromatography.

Abstract
A potent fibrinolytic enzyme-producing Bacillus cereus IND1 was isolated from the Indian food, rice. Solid-state fermentation was carried out using agroresidues for the production of fibrinolytic enzyme. Among the substrates, wheat bran supported more enzyme production and has been used for the optimized enzyme production by statistical approach. Two-level full-factorial design demonstrated that moisture, supplementation of beef extract, and sodium dihydrogen phosphate have significantly influenced enzyme production (P < 0.05). A central composite design resulted in the production of 3699 U/mL of enzyme in the presence of 0.3% (w/w) beef extract and 0.05% (w/w) sodium dihydrogen phosphate, at 100% (v/w) moisture after 72 h of fermentation. The enzyme production increased fourfold compared to the original medium. This enzyme was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation, diethylaminoethyl-cellulose ion-exchange chromatography, Sephadex G-75 gel filtration chromatography, and casein-agarose affinity chromatography and had an apparent molecular mass of 29.5 kDa. The optimum pH and temperature for the activity of fibrinolytic enzyme were found to be 8.0 and 60°C, respectively. This enzyme was highly stable at wide pH range (7.0–9.0) and showed 27% ± 6% enzyme activity after initial denaturation at 60°C for 1 h. In vitro assays revealed that the enzyme could activate plasminogen and significantly degraded the fibrin net of blood clot, which suggests its potential as an effective thrombolytic agent.

Abstract
Fibrinolytic enzymes are agents that dissolve fibrin clots. These fibrinolytic agents have potential use to treat cardiovascular diseases, such as heart attack and stroke. In the present article, a fibrinolytic enzyme producing Pseudoalteromonas sp. IND11 was isolated from the fish scales and optimized for enzyme production. Cow dung was used as a substrate for the production of fibrinolytic enzyme in solid-state culture. A two-level full factorial design was used for the screening of key ingredients while further optimization was carried out using the central composite design. Statistical analysis revealed that the second-order model is significant with model F-value of 6.88 and R2 value of 0.860. Enzyme production was found to be high at pH 7.0, and the supplementation of 1% (w/w) maltose and 0.1% (w/w) sodium dihydrogen phosphate enhanced fibrinolytic enzyme production. The optimization of process parameters using response surface methodology resulted in a three-fold increase in the yield of fibrinolytic enzyme. This is the first report on production of fibrinolytic enzyme using cow dung substrate in solid-state fermentation.

Abstract
Production of fibrinolytic enzyme by a newly isolated Paenibacillus sp. IND8 was optimized using wheat bran in solid state fermentation. A 2(5) full factorial design (first-order model) was applied to elucidate the key factors as moisture, pH, sucrose, yeast extract, and sodium dihydrogen phosphate. Statistical analysis of the results has shown that moisture, sucrose, and sodium dihydrogen phosphate have the most significant effects on fibrinolytic enzymes production (P < 0.05). Central composite design (CCD) was used to determine the optimal concentrations of these three components and the experimental results were fitted with a second-order polynomial model at 95% level (P < 0.05). Overall, 4.5-fold increase in fibrinolytic enzyme production was achieved in the optimized medium as compared with the unoptimized medium.

Abstract
The present study is aimed at enhanced production of a fibrinolytic enzyme from Bacillus sphaericus MTCC 3672 under ultrasonic stimulation. Various process parameters viz; irradiation at different growth phases, ultrasonication power, irradiation duration, duty cycle and multiple irradiation were studied for enhancement of fibrinolytic enzyme productivity. The optimum conditions were found as follows, irradiation of ultrasonic waves to fermentation broth at 12 h of growth phase with 25 kHz frequency, 160 W ultrasound power, 20% duty cycle for 5 min. The productivity of fibrinolytic enzyme was increased 1.82-fold from 110 to 201 U/mL compared with the non sonicated control fermentation. Drop in glucose concentration from 0.41% to 0.12% w/v in ultrasonicated batch implies that, ultrasonication increases the cell permeability, improves substrate intake and progresses metabolism of microbial cell. Microscopic images before and after ultrasonic stimulation clearly signifies the impact of duty cycle on decreasing biomass concentration. However, environmental scanning electron micrograph does not show any cell lysis at optimum ultrasonic irradiation. Offshoots of our results will contribute to fulfill the demand of enhancement of microbial therapeutic enzyme productivity, through ultrasonication stimulation.

Abstract
Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (E.C. 1.2.1.10) plays a key role in the acetaldehyde detoxification. The recombinant Escherichia coli cells producing acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ist-ALDH) were applied as whole-cell biocatalysts for biodegradation of acetaldehyde. Response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to enhance the production of recombinant ist-ALDH. Under the optimum culture conditions containing 20.68 h post-induction time, 126.75 mL medium volume and 3 % (v/v) inoculum level, the maximum ist-ALDH activity reached 496.65 ± 0.81 U/mL, resulting in 12.5-fold increment after optimization. Furthermore, the optimum temperature and pH for the catalytic activity of wet cells were 40 °C and pH 9.5, respectively. The biocatalytic activity was improved 80 % by permeabilizing the recombinant cells with 0.075 % (v/v) Triton X-100. When using 2 mmol/L NAD(+) as coenzyme, the permeabilized cells could catalyze 98 % of acetaldehyde within 15 min. The results indicated that the recombinant E. coli with high productivity of ist-ALDH might be highly efficient and easy-to-make biocatalysts for acetaldehyde detoxification.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to optimize protease production from the nematophagous fungus Monacrosporium thaumasium (NF34a) and evaluate its larvicidal activity and biological stability. An isolate of the nematophagous fungus Monacrosporium thaumasium (NF34a) was used to produce the enzyme. The Plackett-Burman design was used in order to scan which components of the culture medium could have a significant influence on protease production by the fungus NF34a. An in vitro assay was also performed to evaluate the larvicidal activity of NF34a. It was observed that only one component of the culture medium (yeast extract), at the levels studied, had any significant effect (p < 0.05) on protease production. There was a reduction (p < 0.01) in the mean number of larvae recovered from the treated groups, compared with the control groups. The results confirm previous reports on the efficiency of nematophagous fungi for controlling nematode larvae that are potentially zoonotic. Thus, given the importance of biological control, we suggest that further studies should be conducted on the protease produced by the fungus Monacrosporium thaumasium.

Abstract
A non-toxic, direct-acting fibrinolytic serine protease (Bafibrinase) demonstrating thrombolytic and anticoagulant properties was purified from Bacillus sp. strain AS-S20-I. Bafibrinase was monomeric, with a molecular mass of 32.3 kDa. The peptide mass fingerprinting of Bafibrinase revealed only 8.3% sequence coverage, suggesting it was a novel fibrinolytic enzyme. However, two of the tryptic digested de novo peptide sequences of Bafibrinase demonstrated good similarity with endopeptidases possessing serine in their catalytic triad. Further, catalytic activity of Bafibrinase was inhibited by serine protease inhibitor reinforcing this is a subtilisin-like serine protease. The apparent K(m) and V(max) values of Bafibrinase towards fibrin were determined as 0.24 μM and 2.8 μmol/min, respectively. It showed a K(m) value of 0.139 mM towards a chromogenic substrate for plasmin (D-Val-Leu-Lys-p-Nitroanilide dihydrochloride) and optimum activity at physiological conditions (37 °C and pH 7.4). Based on the cleavage pattern of fibrin and fibrinogen, Bafibrinase may be classified as an α,β-fibrinogenase. Bafibrinase could not degrade collagen and was non-cytotoxic to HT29 cells or mammalian erythrocytes. Further, Bafibrinase at a dose of 2 mg/kg was devoid of toxicity as well as hemorrhagic activity on BALB/c mouse model, supporting its suitability for the development of a better and safer thrombolytic drug. Bafibrinase was also superior to human plasmin in degrading in vitro thrombus. The in vivo anticoagulant nature of Bafibrinase is being explored for the treatment and prevention of thrombosis and other cardiovascular diseases.
