Abstract
Proteases, that are able to hydrolyze the peptide bonds in proteins and polypeptides, occupy a key position in diverse fields, such as food, agriculture, animal feed. Considering the increasing demand for microbial proteases, identification of new way for improving the productivity of producers is of great importance. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of a new coordination compound [Fe(H2L)(H2O)2](NO3)3∙2.5H2O (where H2L = 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(picolinoylhydrazone)) on the activity of proteolytic complex synthesized by the micromycete Fusarium gibbosum CNMN FD 12 under the submerged fermentations in shake flask, as well as in lab-scale fermenter. It was found that [Fe(H2L)(H2O)2](NO3)3∙2.5H2O exerts a significant positive effect on proteolytic activity in F. gibbosum CNMN FD 12 both in flasks and bioreactor and can be used as stimulator and regulator of proteases activity. By varying the concentration of the coordination compound and the duration of cultivation, it is possible to obtain proteolytic complexes enriched in different types of proteases (acid, neutral or alkaline), depending on the practical needs.
