Abstract:Alkaline proteases are active from neutral to alkaline pH range and have extensive applications in detergent and leather industries. In the present research, bacteria isolated from marine water samples were screened for proteolytic activity. Among the isolates, M2 showed maximum proteolysis with a clear zone when cultured on skim milk agar plates at 37°C for 24 h. Molecular identification using 16S rRNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis revealed that M2 has sequence identity (99.93%) to Bacillus paramycoide… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
