LOW-TEMPERATURE ACTIVE ALKALINE PROTEASE FROM NOCARDIOPSIS DASSONVILLEI AND ITS PREPARATION

摘要

Novel alkaline proteases are prepared by cultivating Nocardiopsis sp. strain 10R and Nocardiopsis dassonvillei strain M58-1 (NRRL 18133), Actinomycete strains. The proteases of the actinomycetes may be distinguished from known Bacillus, fungal and East German 2004328 patented ZIMET 43647 alkaline proteases. Alkaline proteases of strains 10R and M58-1 may also be distinguished from each other. These protease preparations are of potential use as detergent additives for cold water laundering.
