THERMOSTABLE VARIANTS OF NEUTRAL PROTEASES OF BACILLUS STEAROTHERMOPHILUS AND BACILLUS THERMOPROTEOLYTICUS

摘要

The present invention provides genes encoding extremely thermostable variants of neutral proteases, as well as, vectors and cells comprising these genes and proteases produced through these genes, vectors and/or cells. In particular variants of the neutral proteases of Bacillus stearothermophilus and Bacillus thermoproteolyticus (thermolysine) and sequences and cells coding therefor are provided.
