Cost effective method of protease production in solid state fermentation by using combined substrate corn cob and lentil husk
Abstract: AbstractAn alkalophilic Bacillus cereus strain was found to produce a thermal and pH tolerant extracellular alkaline protease which showed very good compatibility and stability with commercial laundry detergents. Considering important industrial application of B. cereus protease, its production was need to be enhanced. Different agro-industrial waste products viz. wheat bran, lentil husk, green gram husk and corn cob were used as substrates for the production of B. cereus protease by …
