Gc. Rollan et al., PROTEASE PRODUCTION BY LEUCONOSTOC-OENOS STRAINS ISOLATED FROM WINE, World journal of microbiology & biotechnology, 9(5), 1993, pp. 587-589
Two separate, extracellular proteolytic activities were demonstrated i
n four strains of Leuconostoc oenos isolated from Argentinian wines. T
he first took place in the early growth phase and the other had its ma
ximum at the end of growth. The two proteolytic enzymes had different
pH and temperature optima. Divalent metal ions had different effects n
ot only on each L. oenos strain but also on each of the two proteases
from each strain.
