The adenyl cyclase deficient cr-1 mutant of Neurospora crassa grew poorly in bovine serum albumin as an alternative and only source of either sulfur, nitrogen or carbon. The low growth of the cr-1 mutant in protein was correlated with limited secretion of extracellular alkaline protease. The defect was specific for the cr-1 mutant and was suppressed by exogenous cyclic AMP. Cyclic AMP relieved protease deficiency under carbon, nitrogen or sulfur limiting conditions to unequal extents. Protease stimulation was greatest under carbon-limited conditions, but the resulting growth was least. Most of the cyclic AMP-mediated increase of alkaline protease was extracellular.

infection can induce necrotic enteritis and lead to significant economic loss to the chicken industry. In this study, a xylanase (Xyn10C), which effectively promotes the growth of probiotics, and a protease, which degrades the biofilm of were analyzed for their ability to alleviate -induced necrotic enteritis in broiler chickens. A total of 300 male AA chickens were divided into five treatment groups (control, no enzyme and no challenge; Cp, no enzyme, challenge; Xyn, Xyn10C plus challenge; Xyn+Am, Xyn10C+Amylase plus challenge; Xyn+Ap, Xyn10C+Alkaline protease plus challenge).

Bacteriophages, the most abundant biological agents targeting bacteria, offer a promising alternative to antibiotics for combating multi-drug resistant pathogens like Acinetobacter baumannii. However, the rapid development of bacteriophage resistance poses a significant challenge. This study highlights the contribution of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) in the emergence of bacteriophage resistance in A.

Recycling of protein-rich environmental wastes and obtaining more valuable products from these recycled products is a topic of interest for researchers. This study aims to produce, purify, and characterize the physicochemical and structural properties of the protease enzyme produced from Brevibacillus agri SAR25 using salmon fish waste as substrate and also to evaluate the effect of protease on the chicken feather, enzyme-ligand interactions, and active site surface area. The production of protease was optimum on 50 g/L fish waste, pH 8, 40 °C, 96 h, and 150 rpm.

is a tasty and low-calorie mushroom containing abundant high-quality protein. This study aims to improve the digestibility of protein (PEP) and hence to facilitate its development as a healthy alternative protein. The extracted PEP was pretreated with 1000-5000 U of papain, neutral protease and alkaline protease.
