Submerged production, purification, and crystallization of acid carboxypeptidase from Penicillium janthinellum IFO-8070. 1974

S Yokoyama, and A Oobayashi, and O Tanabe, and E Icheshima

Penicillium janthinellum IFO-8070 produced an acid carboxypeptidase of molecular weight 51,000 in a liquid medium at 25 C. Maximum enzyme concentration was obtained within 3 to 6 days in a medium containing 2% wheat bran, 1% defatted soybean, and 1% KH(2)PO(4); the initial pH was 2 to 4. When submerged aerobic conditions were used, a 51,000-molecular-weight acid carboxypeptidase was produced and no detectable amounts of 160,000-molecular-weight acid carboxypeptidase were produced. Acid carboxypeptidase with a molecular weight of 51,000 was purified 330-fold from koji culture to yield a crystalline protein which was demonstrated by disc electrophoresis to be homogeneous. The purification method included ammonium sulfate fractionation, Amberlite CG-50 chromatography, acetone fractionation, Amberlite CG-50 rechromatography, and concentration in a collodion bag. The specific activity of the enzyme was about three times more than that of the acid carboxypeptidase from Aspergillus saitoi.

The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN. Media, Culture
D004589 Electrophoresis, Disc Electrophoresis in which discontinuities in both the voltage and pH gradients are introduced by using buffers of different composition and pH in the different parts of the gel column. The term 'disc' was originally used as an abbreviation for 'discontinuous' referring to the buffers employed, and does not have anything to do with the shape of the separated zones.
