## Abstract Proteases, also referred to as peptidases, are the enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis of peptide bonds in polipeptides. A variety of biological functions and processes depend on their activity. Regardless of the organismβs complexity, peptidases are essential at every stage of life of
Proteases were the principal secretory proteins of Clostridium sporogenes and were optimally produced after active growth at 37 Β° C. Glucose, ammonia and peptides repressed protease production. Protease formation was maximal in cultures grown at pH 6.5, but proteolytic activity exhibited a pH optimu
