Article Synopsis
- The study optimized the production of collagenase and protease enzymes from Aspergillus heteromorphus URM0269 using submerged fermentation with soybean flour as the primary substrate, achieving maximum enzyme production under specific concentrations of substrate and yeast extract.
- After scaling up the fermentation process in a stirred tank bioreactor, collagenase activity significantly increased while protease activity decreased, highlighting a shift in enzyme production dynamics.
- The research found that collagenase functions best at 40°C and pH 6.0, indicating its potential use in biotechnology, and also provided thermodynamic parameters that suggest the feasibility of using soybean flour as a sustainable resource for enzyme production.
