[Objective] Keratinases, a class of serine proteases capable of degrading keratin, have important application potential and research value in the utilization of keratin resources. The efficient industrial production of keratinase is helpful to promoting its application in leather, textiles, feed, chemical fertilizers, daily chemicals, and medicine. In this study, we optimized the fermentation conditions of Bacillus subtilis WB600-pMA5-KerBv, a recombinant keratinase-producing strain constructed in our laboratory, to improve the enzyme production. Furthermore, we explored the potential application of keratinase in the degradation of fibrin. [Methods] First, the composition of the fermentation medium was determined by single factor experiments. Then, response surface methodology was employed to optimize the medium formula for producing keratinase, and the factors significantly affecting the growth and enzyme production of bacteria and the optimum concentrations were determined. Subsequently, the DoseResp model was adopted to predict the optimal growth point of the strain and thus guide the expansion of enzyme production in a 5 L fermenter. Finally, the blood clot and fibrinogen degradation experiments were carried out to evaluate the degradation performance of the keratinase. [Results] The formula of the fermentation medium for producing keratinase by the recombinant strain was optimized as follows (g/L): glucose 25.0, yeast powder 25.0, soybean meal 15.0, dipotassium phosphate 14.04, potassium dihydrogen phosphate 2.58, and magnesium chloride 0.3. The optimal growth point of the strain was predicted based on the DoseResp model to guide the expansion of production in a 5 L fermenter. Under the optimized conditions, the OD600 (bacterial biomass) increased from 2.45 in a shake flask to 77.80, and the enzyme activity increased by about 4.76 times from 4 471 U/mL in a shake flask to 21 301.67 U/mL. In addition, the keratinase showcased remarkable degradation ability on fibrinogen and blood clots. [Conclusion] The systematic fermentation optimization and model-based prediction of enzyme production in fermenters improved the production of keratinase in Bacillus subtilis. The findings provided a research basis for the application of keratinase in thrombolysis.
