[ 1 ] - Characterization of proteolytic enzyme secreted by Streptomyces cinereoruber ssp. cinereoruber isolated from human pleural fluid

Actinomycetes are an uncommon agent of human infections and its pathogenic factors are not known. The present study reports a rare case isolation of an actinomycete from a woman pleural fluid; the strain was identified by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. This strain was tested to produce an extracellular protease that hydrolysis gelatin, casein and hemoglobin on agar mediums. The purification o...
