| Abstract | A protease-producing bacterium was isolated from an alkaline wastewater of the soap industry and identified as Vibrio metschnikovii J1 on the basis of the 16S rRNA gene sequencing and biochemical properties. The strain was found to over-produce proteases when it was grown at 30°C in media containing casein as carbon source (14,000 U ml−1). J1 enzyme, the major protease produced by V. metschnikovii J1, was purified by a three-step procedure, with a 2.1-fold increase in specific activity and 33.3% recovery. The molecular weight of the purified protease was estimated to be 30 kDa by SDS-PAGE and gel filtration. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the first 20 amino acids of the purified J1 protease was AQQTPYGIRMVQADQLSDVY. The enzyme was highly active over a wide range of pH from 9.0 to 12.0, with an optimum at pH 11.0. The optimum temperature for the purified enzyme was 60°C. The activity of the enzyme was totally lost in the presence of PMSF, suggesting that the purified enzyme is a serine protease. The kinetic constants K m and K cat of the purified enzyme using N-succinyl-l-Ala-l-Ala-l-Pro-l-Phe-p-nitroanilide were 0.158 mM and 1.14 × 105 min−1, respectively. The catalytic efficiency (K cat /K m) was 7.23 × 108 min−1 M−1. The enzyme showed extreme stability toward non-ionic surfactants and oxidizing agents. In addition, it showed high stability and compatibility with some commercial liquid and solid detergents. The aprJ1 gene, which encodes the alkaline protease from V. metschnikovii J1, was isolated, and its DNA sequence was determined. The deduced amino acid sequence of the preproenzyme differs from that of V. metschnikovii RH530 detergent-stable protease by 12 amino acids, 7 located in the propeptide and 5 in the mature enzyme. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
