Screening and isolation of protease-producing bacteria from wastewater samples in Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) Campus, Ile-Ife, Nigeria

Arogundade Femi Qudus,
Lawal Ridwan Abiodun

Abstract: Background: Wastewater samples possess substantial potential as a valuable resource for the isolation of bacteria with the capacity to produce protease enzymes. Gaining insights into the proteolytic capabilities of these bacteria holds considerable significance for a wide range of industrial applications. Enhancing our understanding of the microbial diversity and protease production potential within wastewater can pave the way for the creation of customized enzymatic solutions tailored specifically for industr… Show more

“…These materials contain undegraded residual proteins which affect water quality [10], hence, there is a need to explore and screen for bacteria capable of breaking down organic matter present in rice-fish farming system sediments [11]. One group of microorganisms that play a role in protein degradation is proteolytic bacteria [12]. In the environment, proteolytic bacteria will break down organic compounds from the protein group so that they do not accumulate as ammonia which can pollute the aquatic environment [13].…”
