| Abstract | Proteases with characteristic stabilities are considered attractive candidates for industrial catalysis. In the present study, a potent bacterial strain KT004404, an inhabitant of hydrothermal vents, was isolated and characterized for protease production. Initial screening indicated that this strain produced a hydrolytic zone of 30 mm 16S rRNA-based identification revealed that our isolate was a strain of Bacillus subtilis. Optimum reaction condition for maximum protease production was determined as 55 °C, pH 6, 1 % inoculum size and malt extract as primary growth substrate supplemented with 1 % dextrose. Yield of the enzyme was increased up to 7.53 folds with a specific activity of 55.125 U/mg after gel filtration chromatography. SDS-PAGE analysis confirmed the size of protease as 28.24 kDa. Purified enzyme retained its catalytic activity over a broad range of temperature (5 to 65 °C) and pH [5–8]. Addition of metal ions shown to have a stimulatory effect on catalytic properties while EDTA inhibited the efficiency of the enzyme confirming it as a metalloprotease. Protease exhibited excellent stability and activity in the presence of anionic surfactants, solvents, and detergents. The results of dehairing and destaining experiments suggested that the protease produced by B. subtilis KT004404 could be used in leather and textile industries with ecological benefits. |

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.
