Popis: This paper investigates the influence of polyethylene glycol (PEG) molar mass, concentrations of PEG and sodium citrate, and pH, in situ recovery on protease produced by Aspergillus tamarii URM4634. A biochemical characterization study was conducted, and thermodynamic parameters were determined in the test which used 8000 (g/mol) PEG molar mass, PEG concentration 24% (w/w), sodium citrate concentration 20% (w/w) and pH 6.0 with partition coefficient of 35.0, activity yield of 98.4 and concentration factor of 2.14. This PEG-phase had an optimum pH and temperature of 8.0 and 60 °C, respectively, being inhibited by EDTA (83.3%) which indicated that this's a metalloprotease. The thermodynamic studies of the protease had an activation energy of 19.01 kJ/mol and a deactivation energy of 29.6 kJ/mol. It was in this range that the following estimates could be made: enthalpy of ΔH*d 29.7 kJ/mol, entropy of ΔS*d − 265.0 kJ/mol K and Gibbs free energy of 120.0 ≤ ΔG*d ≤ 125.9 kJ/mol. These results show a possible scaling-up of the bioreactor process which, under the conditions in the shaker flask, showed considerable values in the integrated production and extraction process, thus demonstrating the potential of this process for obtaining a high recovery of protease and similar products.
