Abstract:

A Bacillus strains,MY-6 strain which secreted high amount of protease was isolated from healthy pig's intestines,and it was identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens by the methods of morphological observation, biochemical tests,16S rDNA sequence amplification and comparison, biolog identification. In order to get an initial understanding of the enzymatic properties of its protease, the dynamic relationship between protease activity and bacterial life cycle, effects of pH,temperature,metal ions and inhibitors on protease activity,and the protease hydrolysis of different substrates were investigated. The results showed that,the protease synthesis of MY-6 strain was synchronized with its spore formation which began in the early stage of the exponential growth phase. The optimum conditions for the protease was 40℃ and pH 7.0,Ca²⁺ and Mn²⁺ had a intensive effects on the protease activity, PMSF could completely inhibit the activity of protease, indicating that the protease was a serine protease.The content of TCA soluble peptides for protein hydrolyzate fish protein, soybean protein, corn protein and casein was 0.83,0.67,0.58 and 0.38 μmol/g,respectively. In conclusion,Bacillus amyloliquefaciens MY-6 strain could be used as an initial selection of probiotic Bacillus to improve protein digestion.
