Extracellular Cold Active Alkaline Proteolytic Enzyme Produced By Pseudomonas gessardii Strain N-86 Isolated from Antarctica

Abstract

Proteases are the hydrolytic enzymes that act up on different kinds of proteins lead to formation of smaller peptides and amino acids. On the basis of action it is of exo-or endo-peptidase and it is of four types on the basis of functional groups viz. serine-, cystein-, aspartic-and metallo-protease. The protease types depend on the composition of the production medium; therefore, one microorganism can produce various types of
