Microbial proteases are the most important group in the enzymes world market, because have several industrial applications. Moreover, they have some advantages respect to proteases produced by other sources, such as to have more stability and to be excreted to fermentation medium. The genus Pseudomonas has been studied as a protease producer of enzymes with industrial potential. Nevertheless, the production is affected by factors such as medium composition and culture conditions, and their optimization lead to reduce costs and increase yield. In this context, medium components that influenced significantly in production of Pseudomonas sp. M211 extracellular proteases in submerged fermentation were determined. In this work, one-factor-at-a-time method was used to assess the effect of different carbon, nitrogen and ions sources in proteases production. The highest level of extracellular pr...
