the aim of this study was to clone the serine alkaline protease-encoding gene from bacillus subtilis 168. this protease, which can have many applications especially in detergent, may be industrially an important enzyme. for the amplification of the gene, pcr was performed with a pair of primers specifically designed for this purpose. electrophoresis of the pcr product showed the expected band o...

The production of protease by Bacillus licheniformis BBRC 100053 was studied. The most appropriate medium for the growth and protease production is composed of: lactose 1%, yeast extract 0.5%, peptone 0.5%, KH2PO4 0.1%, MgSO4.7H2O 0.02%. Enzyme production corresponded with growth and reached a maximums level (589 U/ml) during the stationary phase at 35°C, pH equivalent to 10 and with 150 rpm af...

Objective: Investigations were carried out to isolate bacteria from saline-alkali soils and determined optimized alkaline protease activity and stability produced by a wild strain of bacillus sp. in submerged fermentation (SMF). Methods: Optimum temperature for enzyme activity in the crude extract was 40 ◦C at a pH between 8.0 and 9.0. The studies on pH stability showed that the enzyme...

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 ...

this research has focused on isolation and characterization of a strain of bacillus sp. from alkaline soil, which was able to produce extracellular alkaline protease at phs ranging from 8 to 11 and temperatures of 20 to 50ºc. also the impact of different carbon andnitrogen sources were investigated. the yield and fold of enzyme purification was 24% and 50 times, respectively. molecular weight o...

The aim of this study was the use of fish waste hydrolysate (FWH) as a substrate for alkaline protease production using isolated Bacillus sp. in a batch system. Then the fermentation kinetics of enzyme production was studied. The results show that with the addition of FWH to the fermentation medium with a final concentration of 4% (optimal concentration), alkaline protease value reached a maxim...

Owing to their superior catalytic activity in the extreme conditions, extremozymes have found the potential biotechnological applications for industrial purposes. A robust extracellular protease activity was detected in the culture broth of Salicola marasensis, an extreme halophilic bacterium, after a 48 h-incubation. The effect of different media ingredients in a liquid state fermentation was ...

Background: It was previously shown that the activity of a serine protease from a moderately halotolerant Bacillus aquimaris VITP4 strain is active in a wide range of pH and temperatures and could be modulated by the presence of the divalent metal ions.  Objectives: In the present study, a quantitative analysis was done in order to explore the parameters that are contributing to the protease a...

background and objectives: proteases are a group of enzymes that catalyze the degradation of proteins resulting in the pro- duction of their amino acid constituents. they are the most important group of industrial enzymes which account for about 60% of total enzymes in the market and produced mainly by microorganisms. the attempts were made to study the kinetic parameters of protease produced b...
