Abstract: A strain with high nattokinase activity was screened through the UV-induced mutation and fibrinogen plate and shake- flask liquid fermentation.The optimization of NK liquid fermentation was studied in this paper.The results showed that the optimal fermentation medium is nutrition meat broth,the optimal fermentation time 24 h,and fermentation temperature 30℃.With this optimization,the enzyme activity of the screened strain can reach 640 U/ml.Its enzyme activity is increased 258%.

Key words: nattokinase, UV-induced mutation, optimization, Bacillus subtilis(natto)
