Proteolytic activities of the culture supernatant of wild-type and purified protease were determined with azocoll in the presence of inhibitors. Activities are expressed as percentages of the respective controls. E-64, l-trans-epoxysuccinyl-leucylamido(4-guanidino)butane; SBTI, soybean trypsin inhibitor.
