Abstract
The present study is an attempt to produce the protease enzyme from the bacterial strain Bacillus cereus . The strain was isolated from the estuarine sediment sample on casein agar medium. Various cultural conditions were optimized. Based on the results obtained from optimization the mass scale culture was made with pH 9.0; 40 0 C temperature; 35ppt of salinity; 3% of the casein as the suitable substrate. Ammonium sulphate saturation was made and the enzyme was partially purified and lyophilized. 80% saturation has given the maximum saturation of 0.9g. SDS-PAGE was made and there was the separation at 55KDa and 20KDa representing the enzyme protease. Application study was carried out with the enzyme recovered from Bacillus cereus. The purified enzyme was included in to the stain removal procedure. There was the better stain removing observation at the time of using the protease enzyme.
