Abstract
A REVIEW ON INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS OF MICROBIAL PROTEASE
Manam Walait*, Huda Rehman, and Hamid Mukhtar and Javed Iqbal Wattoo
ABSTRACT
Proteases catalyze hydrolysis of peptide bonds in proteins and are one of the most widely used industrial enzymes. Though they are ubiquitously found in a wide diversity of sources such as plants, animals, and microorganisms but microbial sources are preferred for the production of proteases due to technical and economic advantages. Microbial proteases have potential for application in different industries including detergent, leather, silver recovery, dairy, baking, beverages and pharmaceutical industries. These hydrolytic enzymes are efficiently involved in food industry for enhancing nutritional value, digestibility, palatability, flavor and reducing allergenic compounds as well as in management of domestic and industrial wastes. Furthermore, they are also involved in synthesis and structural elucidation and characterization of proteins. The present communication is an overview of the proteases produced from bacterial and fungal sources and their role in various industrial applications.
