Abstract: | Rifampin and chloramphenicol inhibited the synthesis of collagenase of Streptomyces sp. A8, suggesting de novo synthesis. The collagenase was induced by insoluble collagen, its macromolecular fragments, gelatin, peptone, hide powder and yeast extract. Growth as well as collagenase synthesis were dependent on substrate availability. Purification of collagenase by DEAE-cellulose chromatography resulted in approximately 25-fold increase in activity (268.6 μmol glycine equivalents min?1 mg?1 protein) relative to the activity of the culture filtrate (10.5 μmol glycine equivalents min?1 mg?1 protein). |
