PURPOSE To determine the distribution of the protease IV gene, the production of this and other proteases by multiple strains of Pseudomonas, and the virulence of a mutant specifically deficient in protease IV. METHODS The protease IV gene was cloned, its sequence analyzed, and its chromosomal location determined by pulse-field gel electrophoresis. Three PCR reactions were used to detect the ...

conclusions in this study, we isolated b. licheniformis producing an organic solvent-stable protease from oil-contaminated soil. the protease was stable and active in various organic solvents. by purification, the protease could be used as a biocatalyst for organic solvent-based enzymatic synthesis. results according to 16srdna sequencing, strain isa9 was identified as a new strain of bacillus ...

Serine protease performs normal biological functions in cell. Serine protease are involves in coagulation, inflammation and immunity. Wide variety organisms produce serine proteases including virus, bacteria, animals and plants. Serine proteases are mono-meric enzymes. Serine protease are produced as inactive enzymes called zymogen and transported to other organs where they needed, which are th...

background: fasciola hepatica is one of the most important helminthes parasites and triclabendazole (tcbz) is routinely used for treatment of infected people and animals. secreted protease enzymes by the f. hepatica plays a critical role in the inva-sion, migration, nutrition and the survival of parasite and are key targets for novel drugs and vaccines. the aim of study was to determine the pro...

an ability of the fluorescent pseudomonad bacteria is to secrete such secondary metabolites as hydrogen cyanide, protease, salicylic acid as well as siderophore which prevent the growth of soil-habitant pathogens. tests were done for evaluating the materials produced by the said bacteria. in the tests' cultures, p. aeruginosa strains 7nsk2, utpf92, and utpf86 produced the most hydrogen cya...
