  • Method for producing extracellular proteins from genus
    Patent number: 9580738
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for producing extracellular proteins from genus Tepidimonas, including: performing a fermentation culturing to a bacteria of genus Tepidimonas with a culturing medium to form a fermented liquid, wherein the composition of the culturing medium includes a carbon source which is an organic acid, selected from a group consisting of acetate, lactate and butyrate; a nitrogen source selected from a group consisting of (NH4)2SO4, NH4NO3, NH4Cl and urea; phosphate; carbonate; MgCl2; yeast extract; and trace elements, and wherein the gas feeding rate for the fermentation culturing is about 0-0.1 vvm; and after the fermentation culturing is completed, collecting the fermented liquid, wherein the fermented liquid contains extracellular protein secreted from the bacteria of genus Tepidimonas.
