Features of low-temperature storage of streptomyces strains - producers of glycosidaz inhibitors by A. A. Printseva, N. Yu. Sharova, T. V. Vybornova, B. S. Manzhieva

“…The proteinase activity of the inactivated native solution was determined by a modified method using a casein substrate.The experimental data were processed using the methods of mathematical statistics and Excel XP programs.As a result of the research, it was established that the actinomycete strains of S. lucensis and S. violaceus, the producers of glycosidase inhibitors, can maintain inhibitory activity during low-temperature storage for nine months.For the S. lucensis actinomycete strain, stored in a 15 % glycerol solution at – 18 °C, the maximum inhibitory activity is 48 hours in the biotechnological process and is (3686 ± 300) IU/cm3 native solution, and for the violaceus strain – (3150 ± 200) IU/cm³ of the native solution, respectively.For the strain of actinomycete S. lucensis, stored in 0.9 % sodium chloride solution at a temperature of – 18 °C, the maximum inhibitory activity accounts for 72 h of the biotechnological process and is (2600 ± 200) IU/cm³ of the native solution, and for the strain S. violaceus the maximum inhibitory activity accounts for 24 hours of the biotechnological process and is (3530 ± 200) IU/cm³ of the native solution.At a storage temperature of +4 °C, the inhibitory activity for the strain of actinomycete S. lucensis is (560 ± 20) IU/cm³ of native solution, and for the strain of S. violaceus – (1747 ± 100) IU/cm³ of native solution, respectively. …”
