Abstract
Streptomyces are good producers of enzymes of industrial interest, such as lignin peroxidase (LiP) and proteases. To optimize production of these enzymes by Streptomyces viridosporus T7A, two parameters were evaluated: carbon sources and calcium carbonate. Shake-flask fermentations were performed using culture media, with and without CaCO3, contained yeast extract, mineral salts and either glucose, lactose, galactose, or corn oil. In the absence of calcium carbonate, the maximum values for LiP and protease activities occurred during the idiophase with LiP activity being favored by glucose, corn oil, and galactose, and protease activity being favored only by corn oil. Calcium carbonate affected the cell morphology by reducing the size of the pellets. Moreover, in the presence of the salt, LiP production was growth-associated in all media but the glucose medium. Higher enzyme levels were observed when galactose and glucose were used as carbon sources. Protease activity was repressed by both glucose and galactose, whereas corn oil was the best carbon source for the enzyme production. Calcium carbonate increased LiP production by up to 2.6-fold. Such improvement was not observed for protease production, suggesting a selective effect of CaCO3 on LiP activity.
