Abstract
Bacillus Subtilis CN2 isolated from a Vietnamese fish sauce produced a large quantity of an alkaline protease, when grown on a soy peptone medium. The protease was purified to an electrophoretically homogeneous state and crystallized in its pure condensed solution. The molecular weight was determined to be 27,636 Da, and the N‐terminal amino acid sequence was AQSVPYGISQIKAPAL. The optimum pH and temperature were pH 10.0 and 50 °C, respectively. The protease was active over a wide pH range of pH 7.0–11.0, and also active over a broad temperature range of 30–60 °C. The enzyme was potently inhibited by 1 mM phenylmethanesulphonyl fluoride, but resistant to 1 mM sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS).
