“…Microbial proteases have wide ranging applications in several fields, including baking, brewing, detergents, leather making, pharmaceuticals, meat tenderizing, cosmetics, medical diagnosis and so on ( Christensen et al, 2022 ; Reddy et al, 2022 ; Akram et al, 2023 ; Mubeen et al, 2023 ). In addition, with the rapid development of new fields, applications of microbial proteases are expanding to new areas, such feed industries ( Bernardeau et al, 2022 ; Cupi et al, 2022 ), hydrolysis applications to prepare active peptides ( Christensen et al, 2022 ), and environmental protection applications, such as waste treatment and reuse ( Ariaeenejad et al, 2022 ; Asitok et al, 2022 ; Zhai et al, 2022 ). These applications illustrate the diversity and importance of proteases.…”
