METHOD OF RECOVERING PROTEIN OF LOW NUCLEIC ACID CONTENT FROM MICROORGANISMS

摘要

METHOD OF RECOVERING PROTEIN OF LOW NUCLEIC ACID CONTENT FROM MICROORGANISMS Proteins of reduced nucleic acid content are obtained from micro-organisms by thermal treatment comprising heating an aqueous suspension of the micro-organism with the optional addition of a material having ribonuclease activity, at a pH value between 7 and 8.5 and at 63 to 67.degree.C, until the 5'-nucleotide content in the medium has reached the desired level, then briefly boiling the resulting mixture and separating the insoluble crude protein from the suspension.
