Hide Dehairing and Laundry Detergent Compatibility Testing of Thermostable and Solvents Tolerant Alkaline Protease from Hot Spring Isolate <i>Bacillus cohnii</i>U3

Isolation and identification of alkaline protease-producing bacterium in the presence of washing-powder from Geinarje hot spring, Ardabil, Iran

Proteases are important industrial enzymes used in different areas of industry, mainly detergent, food and leather industries. In this study, novel alkaline protease-producing bacterium was isolated from Geinarje hot spring and examined for maximum protease activity to be utilized in washing-powder. The isolated bacterium was cultured in mineral salt medium including 2% Skim Milk. Proteolytic a...

Purification and characterization of laundry detergent compatible alkaline protease from Bacillus cereus

An alkalophilic bacterium, Bacillus cereus produced an extracellular alkaline protease, which was found to be active at high temperature and pH range, suitable for commercial laundry detergents. B. cereus protease was partitioned in different aqueous two-phase systems such as PEG/dextran, PEG/potassium phosphate, PEG/sodium citrate, PEG/magnesium sulphate and PEG/sodium dihydrogen phosphate and...

Thermophilic Bacillus Licheniformis Rbs 5 Isolated from Hot Tunisian Spring Co-producing Alkaline and Thermostable Α-amylase and Protease Enzymes

Thermostable, alkaline and detergent-tolerant lipase from a newly isolated thermophilic Bacillus stearothermophilus.

Lipases are the enzymes of choice for laundry detergent industries, owing to their triglyceride removing ability from the soiled fabric, which eventually reduces the usage of phosphate-based chemical cleansers in the detergent formulation. In this study, a novel thermo-alkaline lipase-producing strain identified as Bacillus stearothermophilus was isolated from the soil samples of olive oil mill...

Production and Purification of a Thermostable Lipase from a Hyperactive Bacterial Isolate Brevibacillus Sp. from Taptapani Hot Spring, Odisha

Thermostable lipase producing Brevibacillus sp. was isolated from Taptapani hot water spring of Ganjam, Odisha, India. Maximum lipase production by Brevibacillus sp. was obtained at pH 10 when grown under shaking condition at 60 °C for 30 hrs. To enhance the production of lipase, nutritional factors were optimized and it was observed that maximum lipase production was obtained in the presence o...
