Popis: The objective of this paper was to investigate optimal culture conditions for the production of an inhibitor against subtilisin-like protease from Streptomyces thermocarboxydus (S. thermocarboxydus) C12 isolated from sediments of Gwangyang coast. The optimal temperature and initial pH for the production of subtilisin-like protease inhibitor were 40 o C and pH 8.0, respectively. Inhibition activities were high for galactose, glucose and fructose. The best carbon source and its concentration were galactose and 1.6% (w/v), respectively. Inhibition activities were also high in medium containing polypeptone, proteose and peptone. Optimal nitrogen source and concentration were protease peptone and 0.5% (w/v), respectively. Optimal concentrations for inhibitor production were 1% (w/v) for NaCl and 1 mM LiCl for metal salts. The subtilisin-like protease inhibitor from S. thermocarboxydus C12 showed a maximum inhibitor activity after cultivation for 84 h under the optimized medium.
