  • Title: Purification and characterization of a surfactant-stable high-alkaline protease from Bacillus sp. B001.
    Author: Deng A, Wu J, Zhang Y, Zhang G, Wen T.
    Journal: Bioresour Technol; 2010 Sep; 101(18):7111-7. PubMed ID: 20417096.
    Abstract:
    The newly isolated alkalophilic Bacillus sp. B001 produced a high level of proteolytic activity (34277 U/mL) when grown in production medium, and a 28 kDa protease, designated AprB, was purified from the culture supernatant. Partial amino acid sequences were obtained by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and a pair of degenerate primers was developed to amplify a 467-bp genomic sequence. The observed and predicted amino acid sequences showed similarity with sequences of high-alkaline proteases from Bacillusclausii, Bacillusalcalophilus, and Bacillus lentus. High stability of AprB towards surfactants and oxidizing agents, an optimal pH of 10.0, and an optimal temperature of 60 degrees C suggest that this high-alkaline protease has potential applications for various industrial processes.
