Abstract:Extracellular proteases of entomopathogenic fungi have been implicated as components of the insect infection process. To elucidate their role in the infection process, it is essential to characterize these enzymes. During the current studies synthesis and regulation of extracellular proteases (Pr1 and Pr2) by Isaria fumosoroseus (Cordycipitaceae; Hypocreales) isolate IF28.2 were investigated as a function of carbon source (with special reference to diamondback moth cuticle), temperature and pH. The highest level of Pr1 and Pr2 activity were found in the supernatants from 1% glucose plus 1% diamondback moth cuticle (18.83±1.25 and 12.44±1.36 U/mg per h for Pr1 and Pr2, respectively). Maximum Pr1 production by the depressed mycelia was observed from the supernatants having diamondback moth cuticle as a nutrient source, whereas depressed mycelia showed maximum Pr2 activity from the cultures having chitin as the basic nutrient. The optimum pH for Pr1 and Pr2 activity was 8 while 35°C was the best temperature for protease production.
Keywords:Isaria fumosoroseus  protease  carbon sources  temperature  pH  Plutella xylostella
