This research aims to produce thermostable alkaline protease from Bacillus subtilis isolated from La Hot Spring, Terengganu, Malaysia. The study was also conducted to determine the optimum conditions for protease production and stability by considering several parameters including pH, temperature and salt concentration. All seven bacteria were screened on skim milk agar overnight at 37 °C. Three strains with the highest proteolytic activity were identified in protease specific medium. The thermostable alkaline protease had an optimum temperature of 60 °C which achieved 85.73, 82.90 and 83.05 U/mL of protease activity for the three strains respectively. Furthermore, the strains exhibited significant activity of more than 90% from their original activity. Meanwhile, the optimum pH for protease production was pH 9 with the protease activity of 76.76, 79.71 and 88.39 U/mL for TB4, TB6 and TB9 strains, respectively. Proteases were found stable at pH 9 where the loss did not exceed 30% of its original activity. Collectively, all of the data emphasised that proteases from B. subtilis were alkaline thermostable proteases in accordance with a recent report. The finding highlights the viability of the proteases for biotechnological and industrial applications.

A culture medium was optimized for the production of keratinolytic protease by a newly isolated strain of Bacillus licheniformis MZK-03 in shake-flask culture. Based on the results of preliminary experiments, feather mill, molasses and trace elements were found to be major variables in keratinolytic protease production. The concentrations of these ingredients were optimized by using two statistical approaches, namely Box-Wilson method and central composite design. The optimized culture medium, finally determined by using the statistical approaches, composed of 0.95% feather mill, 0.12% molasses and 1.44% trace elements. The keratinolytic protease production was increased by approximately 2-fold when the strain was grown in the optimized medium (95.2 U/ml) compared to the un-optimized medium (56.05 U/ml).

Optimization of the growth condition for maximum growth rate and protease production was carried out using Bacillus subtilis. The optimization of protease production using agro industrial waste product such as cassava waste as substrate was performed with statistical methodology based on experimental designs. The screening of twelve nutrients for their influence on protease production was achieved using a Plackett-Burman design. MgSO4.7H2O, casein and glucose were selected based on their positive influence on protease production. The selected components were optimized using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The optimum conditions are (% w/w): MgsO4.7H2O- 0.14, casein- 1.4 and glucose- 2.64. These conditions were validated experimentally which revealed an enhanced protease yield of 202.048 U/gds.

ABSTRACT The capacity of ribosomal modification to improve antibiotic production by Streptomyces spp. has already been demonstrated. Here we show that introduction of mutations that produce streptomycin resistance (str) also enhances α-amylase (and protease) production by a strain of Bacillus subtilis as estimated by measuring the enzyme activity. The str mutations are point mutations within rpsL, the gene encoding the ribosomal protein S12. In vivo as well as in vitro poly(U)-directed cell-free translation systems showed that among the various rpsL mutations K56R (which corresponds to position 42 in E. coli) was particularly effective at enhancing α-amylase production. Cells harboring the K56R mutant ribosome exhibited enhanced translational activity during the stationary phase of cell growth. In addition, the K56R mutant ribosome exhibited increased 70S complex stability in the presence of low Mg2+ concentrations. We therefore conclude that the observed increase in protein synthesis activity by the K56R mutant ribosome reflects increased stability of the 70S complex and is responsible for the increase in α-amylase production seen in the affected strain.

Bacteria in the genus Bacillus are the source of several enzymes of current industrial interest. Hydrolases, such as amylases, proteases, and lipases, are the main enzymes consumed worldwide and have applications in a wide range of products and industrial processes. Fermentation processes by Bacillus subtilis using cassava wastewater as a substrate are reported in the technical literature; however, the same combination of microorganisms and this culture medium is limited or nonexistent. In this paper, the amylase, protease, and lipase production of ten Bacillus subtilis strains previously identified as biosurfactant producers in cassava wastewater was evaluated. The LB1a and LB5a strains were selected for analysis using a synthetic medium and cassava wastewater and were identified as good enzyme producers, especially of amylases and proteases. In addition, the enzymatic activity results indicate that cassava wastewater was better than the synthetic medium for the induction of these enzymes.
