Obtaining of Recombinant Camel Chymosin and Testing Its Milk-Clotting Activity on Cow's, Goat's, Ewes', Camel's and Mare's Milk.

ABSTRACT: In the cheese-making industry, commonly chymosin is used as the main milk-clotting enzyme. Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus) chymosin (BacChym) has a milk-clotting activity higher than that of calf chymosin for cow's, goat's, ewes', mare's and camel's milk. A procedure for obtaining milk-clotting reagent based on recombinant camel chymosin is proposed here. Submerged fermentation by a recombinant yeast (Pichia pastoris GS115/pGAPZαA/ProchymCB) was implemented in a 50 L bioreactor, and the recombinant camel chymosin was prepared successfully. The activity of BacChym in yeast culture was 174.5 U/mL. The chymosin was concentrated 5.6-fold by cross-flow ultrafiltration and was purified by ion exchange chromatography. The activity of the purified BacChym was 4700 U/mL. By sublim
