| Abstract | Microbial proteases due to their enormous application potential in numerous biotechnological processes have gathered considerable research impetus during recent years. However, lack of process suitable characteristics viz. thermostability, wide range pH stability, resistance to inhibitors, among others, in most of the available proteases motivated the search for better and efficient proteases. High production cost of microbial proteases mainly due to expensive substrates (carbon/nitrogen sources used for cultivation of microorganisms) is another limitation for wide range industrial application of these enzymes. Current investigation reports production of a thermostable and pH stable protease from a bacterial isolate Bacillus licheniformis K-3 using agroindustrial/forestry residues as inexpensive substrates for cost-effective enzyme production. Pine needle biomass is being reported for the first time as a proficient carbon source that supported maximum protease production (1321 U/ml), and was followed by wheat bran (1303 U/ml), potato peel (1167 U/ml) and cane bagasse (1122 U/ml). Gram husk as nitrogen source enhanced enzyme production maximally (932 U/ml) as compared to control (389 U/ml), and was followed by soybean meal (823 U/ml), malt extract (742 U/ml), mustard cake (724 U/ml) and fish scales (670 U/ml). Optimum pH and temperature for enzyme was 9.0 and 60 °C, however, protease showed considerable activity over high temperatures and broad pH range. Protease from B. licheniformis K-3 showed remarkable tolerance against detergents like CTAB, SDS and Tween-20. The protease exhibited excellent potential for industrial applications like degelatinization of X-ray films and dehairing of animal hide. Hydrolytic enzyme potential of bacterial isolate B. licheniformis K-3. Plates A–F indicates: culture morphology of bacterium (A), proteolytic activity (B), amylolytic (C), lipolytic (D) keratinolytic (E) gelatinolytic (F), and cellulolytic activity (G) of bacterial isolate |

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.
