MICROBIALLY DERIVED RENNIN HAVING ENHANCED MILK CLOTTING ACTIVITY AND METHOD OF PRODUCING SAME

摘要

Rhizomucor miehei derived aspartic proteases having enhanced milk clotting activity are obtained by deglycosylating the proteases or by producing them in microbial host species which do not glycosylate the proteases or which glycosylate them to lesser extend than Rhizomucor miehei strains naturally producing aspartic proteases in a glycosylated form. Such improved proteases are useful in cheese manufacturing.
