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...

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 ...

proteases are important enzymes that their role in various industries is undeniable. however, keeping enzymes stable during its activity in harsh conditions is so important. in this study, protease enzyme was immobilized on the porous silica particles and its stability in different temperatures and phs was evaluated. first silica particles were aminated by 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane then the ...

After our previous purificational and optimisational studies on alkaline protease from a mutant of B. licheniformis Bl8, Characterisation of the purified enzyme was done from the culture supernatant by employing various parameters. The optimum pH and temperature for the activity of alkaline protease was previously found to be 10 and 50 0 C and stable in the pH range 5.0-12.0. The thermo stabili...

Wastewater sludge is a complex raw material that can support growth and protease production by Bacillus licheniformis. In this study, sludge was treated by different thermo-alkaline pre-treatment methods and subjected to Bacillus licheniformis fermentation in bench scale fermentors under controlled conditions. Thermo-alkaline treatment was found to be an effective pre-treatment process in order...

Alpha amylase family is generally defined as a group of enzymes that can hydrolyse and transglycosylase α-(1, 4) or α-(1, 6) glycosidic bonds along with the preservation of anomeric configuration. For the comparative analysis of alpha amylase family, nucleotide sequences of seven thermo stable organisms of Kingdom Archea i.e. Pyrococcus furiosus (100-105°C), Kingdom Prokaryotes i.e. Bacillus li...

The purpose of this study is to improve the thermo-stabilty of alkaline protease produced by Bacillus sp. using rice bran during solid state fermentation. After partial purification of alkaline protease, various parameters namely effect of temperature and metal ions on enzyme activity was investigated. The suitable temperature for alkaline protease activity was observed at 50°C. Among various m...

BACKGROUND Tk-SP is a member of subtilisin-like serine proteases from a hyperthermophilic archaeon Thermococcus kodakarensis. It has been known that the hyper-stable protease, Tk-SP, could exhibit enzymatic activity even at high temperature and in the presence of chemical denaturants. In this work, the enzymatic activity of Tk-SP was measured in the presence of detergents and EDTA. In addition,...
