What is Serratopeptidase?

Serratiopeptidase (Serratia E-15 protease, also known as serralysin, serratiapeptase, serratia peptidase, serratio peptidase, or serrapeptidase) is a proteolytic enzyme (protease) produced by enterobacterium Serratia sp. E-15.[1] This microorganism was originally isolated in the late 1960s from silkworm Bombyx mori L. (intestine),[2] Serratiopeptidase is present in the silkworm intestine and allows the emerging moth to dissolve its cocoon. Serratiopeptase is produced by purification from culture of Serratia E-15 bacteria.


There is a lack of orange-red pigmentation in some of the growth on your agar slantl abeled S.marcescens. Does this necessarily indicate the presence of a contaminant?

No. The reason is, Chromogenic microorganisms may produce intracellular pigments that are responsible for the coloration of the organisms as seen in surface colonies. Other organisms produce extracellular soluble pigments that are excreted into the medium & that also produce a color. BUT........ most organisms, however, are nonchromogenic & will appear white to gray. ~jmata Microbiology 205 lab manual question. ~

What does support bacteria they're the only culture some people have mean?

It's word play on 'culture' and 'bacteria culture' which is a liquid or gel medium designed to support the growth of microorganisms or bacteria. In this context, 'culture' means: "the tastes in art and manners that are favored by a social group". This quotation simply means that "sympathetically" some people are dirty and lacking in hygiene (as it is in unsanitary conditions that bacteria thrives!), and the only culture they have is the bacteria growing on them.

How would you define pure culture sterile culture and contamination in the culture and isolation of bacteria?

A pure culture contains only one bacteria and no other. A sterile culture has only one bacteria in it and is usually used for transport. Contamination is something that doesn't belong. It can even be a small bit of plastic or wire. It is the opposite of a pure culture. The whole idea when working with isolating bacteria is to figure out which bacteria (or microbe) is causing an infection or disease in a patient. Your job is to help to figure this out so that the proper treatment can be started as soon as possible.
