Table 5.
Protease activity of the crude enzyme and partially purified enzyme from the isolate Z1BL1.
Sample | MCA (U/mL), mean ± SEM | PA (U/mL), mean ± SEM | Ratio MCA/PA |
---|---|---|---|
Crude enzyme | 99.2 ± 1.7 | 107.6 ± 1 | 0.92 |
Acetone-precipitated enzyme | 75.7 ± 1.0 | 50.4 ± 1.1 | 1.50 |
(NH4)2SO4 precipitated enzyme | 64.7 ± 2.3 | 48.2 ± 4.0 | 1.34 |
MCA: milk clotting activity; PA: protease activity; ratio: the ratio of MCA/PA; SEM: standard error of the mean; mean: an average of three measurements.
