Lonar Soda Lake: A Natural Habitat of the Industrially Important Diverse Alkaline Protease Producers
Abstract: Soda lakes, soda deserts and alkaline springs are the natural primary habitats for the occurrence of industrially important alkaline protease producers. Alkaline proteases are preferred for industrial use from the extreme alkaline habitats since the proteases from such habitats can withstand at high pH and thereby fulfill the current industrial need and global demand. In this scenario, we report the isolation and identification of 21 bacterial isolates from the Lonar …

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 …

Biotechnological Prospective of a Group of Beneficial Extremophiles Isolated from Different Sources
Abstract: Extremophiles thrive in terrestrial hot springs, hydrothermal vents, glacial ices, saline lakes, solar saltern and acidic and alkaline niches; moreover a group of the extremophiles may grow in household hazardous waste, solvents containing cleaning and polishing chemicals, heavy metals contaminated sites, or in several other habitats such as aphotic, anoxic, athalassohaline and thalassohaline habitats that were previously considered inhospitable for life. Beside aforementioned extreme niches, extremophiles also dwell in poultry …

Bioprocessing of Used X-ray Films for Silver Recovery by Thermoalkaliphilic Protease from Thermus aquaticus YT-1
Abstract: An environmentally benign enzymatic method for recovery of silver and polyethylene from used X-ray films was developed. This industrially scalable enzymatic process for the recovery of silver was investigated using the thermophilic alkaline protease from Thermus aquaticus YT-1. The rate of gelatin hydrolysis of X-ray film increased with the temperature till 70 ºC, suggesting enzyme stability till 70 ºC. Further, pH 10 was optimum for this process. Transparent polyethylene film …

Understanding the Molecular Mechanisms of Proteases in Bioprocessing: A Review on the Future of the Food Industry
Abstract: Proteases are enzymes that break down proteins through peptide bond catalysis. A protease is a single polypeptide chain of some 250 amino acids and is devoid of sulfhydryl groups. The COOH-terminal tryptic peptide of the protease molecule contains some 43 residues. Because of this unique structure and mechanism, they play a crucial role in the Bioprocessing industry, especially in food processing applications. Herein, the sources of proteases are discussed as …
