摘要
An obligate alkalophilic Bacillus sphaericus strain, isolated from alkaline soils in the Himalaya, produced an extracellular protease which was optimally active at 50-55 degrees C and pH 10.5. The enzyme was stable in presence of 500 mg chlorine l(-1) and as a detergent additive. Its stability in presence of laundry detergents was comparable to that of commercial proteases. The gelatin layer in 25 g of used X-ray films was efficiently hydrolyzed within 12 min at 50 degrees C, pH 11.0 and 25 U protease/ml.
