An alkaline protease, previously isolated from a symbiotic bacterium found in the gland of Deshayes of marine shipworm, was evaluated as a cleansing additive. The protease nearly doubled the cleaning power of a standard phosphate detergent at temperatures up to 50ยฐC as determined by fabric swatch as

A gene, aprP, encoding an extracellular alkaline serine protease from a newly isolated Pseudomonas sp. KFCC 10818 was cloned and characterized. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed an open reading frame of 1,266 nucleotides which could encode a polypeptide comprised of 422 amino acids. The C-termin
To obtain a new serine protease from alkalophilic Bacillus sp. NKS-21, shotgun cloning was carried out. As a result, a new protease gene was obtained. It encoded an intracellular serine protease (ISP-1) in which there was no signal sequence. The molecular weight was 34,624. The protease showed about
