Can anybody help with a method for proteinase enzyme assay for lactobacilus strains after fermentation of dairy products by using chromogenic substrate
first you must test this activity if exist by cultur touch with strain Lactobacillus in milk agar . if you have lyse of casein you can explore the activity.
Thanks all for reply, the strain already has proteolytic activity but I would like to use chromogenic sub (N-Succinyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe p-nitroanilide) not casein as I use whey isolate not milk, but I can not detect the exact time for measuring if I use one measure assay with stopping agent , sample volume I used1-5 ml which give small pellet and also the correct sampling method with anaerobic incubation in anaerobic jar if I want to dtect the highest activity time
