A mutant of Bacillus subtilis IMR-NK1, which is used for the production of domestic natto in Taiwan, produced high fibrinolytic enzyme activity by solid-state fermentation using wheat bran as medium. In addition, a strong fibrinolytic enzyme was purified from the cultivation media. The purified enzyme was almost homogeneous, as examined by SDS-PAGE and capillary electrophoresis. The enzyme had an optimal pH of 7.8, an optimal temperature of 55 degrees C, and a K-m of 0.15% for fibrin hydrolysis. The molecular mass estimated by gel filtration was 31.5 kDa, and the isoelectric point estimated by isoelectric focusing electrophoresis was 8.3. The enzyme also showed activity for hydrolysis of fibrinogen, casein, and several synthetic substrates. Among the synthetic substrates, the most sensitive substrate was N-succinyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-pNA. PMSF and NBS almost completely inhibited the activity of the enzyme. These results indicate that the enzyme is a subtilisin-like serine protease, similar to nattokinase from Bacillus natto.
