Cell-bound proteinase from Virgibacillus sp. SK37 isolated from the first month of fish sauce fermentation was characterized. The enzyme showed the maximum activity at 65 degrees C, pH 7.0 and 9.5, using azocasein as a substrate. The enzyme required at least 10 mmol/l Ca2+ to effectively hydrolyze casein and the extent of casein degradation increased with Ca2+ concentration. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) largely inhibited the activity, indicating a characteristic of Ca2+-activated serine proteinase. Among six synthetic substrates tested, the enzyme preferably hydrolyzed Suc-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-AMC, indicating a subtilisin-like proteinase. Although activity towards actomyosin at 20 g/100 ml NaCl decreased to 63% compared to at 5 g/100 ml, the enzyme showed high stability at 25 g/100 ml NaCl, 30 degrees C. This was the first study to report biochemical characteristics of cell-bound proteinase from a moderately halophilic bacterium isolated from fish sauce.
