Summary: | The present study evaluated the influence of the variables polyethylene glycol (PEG) molar mass, pH, PEG concentration and sodium citrate concentration in the integrated production of the protease from Aspergillus tamarii Kita UCP1279 by extractive fermentation, obtaining as a response the partition coefficient (K), activity yield (Y) and concentration factor (CF). The enzyme preferably partitioned to the top phase and obtained in the system formed by variables M
