The separation from fermentation medium of extracellular serine alkaline protease (SAP) enzyme produced by Bacillus licheniformis was investigated using a crossflow ultrafiltration system. SAP was separated from the high molecular weight neutral protease (NP) and amylase (AMY) enzymes and from the low molecular weight organic acids and amino acids in a crossflow ultrafiltration system with 30000 Da and 10000 Da MWCO polysulfone membranes, respectively. The effects of transmembrane pressure (TMP), recirculation velocity (v), and initial enzyme concentration (CE) on the permeate flux, on the activities of SAP, NP and AMY enzymes, and on the recovery of SAP were investigated. High permeate flux was obtained at high recirculation velocity and TMP, but at low initial enzyme concentration. SAP enzyme recovery and activity measured in the system also showed alterations with hydrodynamic conditions. The best operation conditions for the separation of SAP from NP and AMY were TMP = 20 kPa, v = 0.50 ms(-1) and C-E = 0.2 gdm(-3). The separation of SAP from the organic and amino acids was best performed at TMP = 100 kPa, v = 0.33 ms(-1) and C-E = 0.40 gdm(-3). (C) 2000 Society of Chemical Industry.

Purification and characterization of an intracellular chymotrypsin-like serine protease from Thermoplasma volcanium Kocabıyık, Semra (2006-01-01) An intracellular serine protease produced by Thermoplasma (Tp.) voleanium was purified using a combination of ammonium sulfate fractionation, ion exchange, and et-casein agarose affinity chromatography. This enzyme exhibited the highest activity and stability at pH 7.0, and at 50 degrees C. The purifed enzyme hydrolyzed synthetic peptides preferentially at the carboxy terminus of phenylalanine or leucine and was almost completely inhibited by PMSF, TPCK, and chymostatin, similarly to a chymotrypsin-like ser...
Removal of disinfection by-product precursors by UF and NF membranes in low-SUVA waters Ates, Nuray; Yılmaz, Levent; Kitis, Mehmet; Yetiş, Ülkü (Elsevier BV, 2009-2) The performance of ultrafiltration (UF) and nanofiltration (NF) membranes on disinfection by-products (DBPs) precursor removal in a surface water having low-to-medium dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and specific ultraviolet absorbance (SUVA(254)) levels was evaluated. While higher molecular weight (HMW) DOC fraction was successfully rejected (> 90%), lower molecular weight (LMW) fraction could be removed only 1.5-30% by the tested four different membranes (two UF and two NF). This finding suggested that alth...
Characterization and analysis of the antioxidant capacity of functional phenolics oxidized by Scytalidium thermophilum catalase phenol oxidase (CATPO) Söyler, Ulviye Betül; Ögel, Zümrüt Begüm; Şensoy, İlkay; Department of Food Engineering (2012) Scytalidium thermophilum is a termophilic fungus that effectively produces the extracellular enzyme catalase phenol oxidase (CATPO). The enzyme is distinct among catalases with its bifunctionality of oxidising phenolic compounds in the absence of H2O2. CATPO is capable of oxidizing catechol, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid and catechin which are ortho –diphenolic compounds. Diphenolic compounds are known as strong antioxidants. Catalase is one of the important antioxidant enzymes. Therefore, in this thesis t...
Recovery of acids from anaerobic acidification broth by liquid-liquid extraction Alkaya, Emrah; Kaptan, Serkan; Ozkan, Leyla; Uludag-Demirer, Sibel; Demirer, Göksel Niyazi (2009-11-01) In this study, anaerobic acidification of sugar beet processing wastes and subsequent liquid-liquid extraction of produced fermentation metabolites were investigated. The aim of extraction experiments was to asses the influence of pH and extractant (trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) in kerosene) concentrations on the recovery of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) from fermentation broth. The effect of TOPO in kerosene concentration was as crucial as the effect of pH on the recovery of VFAs via extraction. Consequentl...
Identification and characterization of hydrolytic enzymes from the midgut of Sunn Pest of wheat (Eurygaster integriceps) Ogur, E.; YÜCEL, MUSTAFA; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) To help in the development of Sunn Pest-resistant transgenic plants employing protease or alpha-amylase inhibitors, midgut hydrolytic enzymes of Sunn Pest (Eurygaster integriceps, Put.) (Heteroptera: Scutelleridae) were identified and characterized biochemically. We observed levels of very low proteolytic activity of trypsin (3 nmoles/min/mg), elastase (0.66 nmoles/min/mg) and leucine aminopeptidase-like (14.4 nmoles/min/mg) proteases, but no chymotrypsin and papain-like activity. Proteolytic activities wer...
