P. corylophilum showed the best production in medium containing wheat bran, agro-industrial residue, without additives （egg albumin or casein）, in which peptidase activity reached 520 U mL^-1 and the enzyme displayed the optimum activity between pH range from 7 to 8 and 60 ℃. It also showed high stability in wide pH range and temperature until 45 ℃ for 60 min of incubation. On the other hand, P. waksmanii, the best production was noted in a medium containing wheat bran （95%） and casein （5%）, reaching 545 U mL^-1, with proteolytic optimum activity at pH 7.5 and 55 ℃. The enzyme was mainly stable in pH range from 8 to 9 and at temperatures until 45 ℃ for 60 rain of incubation. The peptidases secreted by both fungi were inhibited in the presence of phenylmethane sulfonyl fluoride, showing that they belong to the subclass of serine peptidases.展开更多
