[Production by fungi of the genera Aspergillus, Acremonium, Verticillium of extracellular proteases which coagulate blood plasma and lyse blood clots].
Among 24 fungal strains belonging to the genera Aspergillus, Acremonium and Verticillium, eight strains synthesized proteases with the coagulating activity. The most active strains producing such proteases were found among Aspergillus species. The fibrinolytic activity was detected in 12 strains of the fungi. Proteases with the fibrinolytic activity differed in their sensitivity to plasma inhibitors and the least sensitive proteases were found in A. niger and A. flavus. Some fungal strains synthesized proteases with the fibrinolytic activity exerting an indirect action. Such enzymes activated the conversion of blood profibrinolysin into fibrinolysin in a manner similar to that of staphylokinase, urokinase and trypsin.
