  • Title: [Thrombolytic activity of Bacillus mesentericus at different conditions of nitrogen nutrition of a culture].
    Author: Cherkesova GV, Nesterova NG, Fetisova ZS.
    Journal: Mikrobiologiia; 1989; 58(6):915-9. PubMed ID: 2700086.
    Abstract:
    The work is concerned with studying the effect exerted by different sources of nitrogen nutrition on the biosynthesis of proteinases with a thrombolytic activity by a variant of Bacillus mesentericus, strain 64, obtained with the aid of analytical selection. Protein substrates taken as a nitrogen source stimulate the synthesis of proteinases by the bacterial culture. These enzymes have a high caseinolytic and thrombolytic activity, and the level of their activity correlates with the amount of a protein substrate added to the medium. Ammonium acetate and succinate are the best stimulants for the formation of proteinases when the salts of mineral and organic acids are used as a source of nitrogen nutrition. In that case, the enzymes have a high thrombolytic activity and a low caseinolytic activity. A semi-synthetic medium with the aforementioned nitrogen-containing compounds as a source of nitrogen nutrition is proposed for the synthesis of thrombolytic proteinase by the variant of B. mesentericus.
