Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a protease having keratinolytic activity under low temperatures and alkaline conditions, its use and microorganisms which produce the protease.
  • Keratinases have conventionally been known to be proteases that degrade insoluble proteins such as keratins.

Such low temperature enzymes are expected to be useful as an additive in laundry detergents which would clean effectively in a cold water. Another expected use is in the food industry to improve the quality of food products which are difficult to process at high temperatures. Furthermore, the study of enzymes derived from psychrophilic bacteria will be significant in order to elucidate the physiological functions of psychrophilic bacteria and their mechanism to adapt under low temperatures and alkaline conditions.
