Abstract
|
|
|
In this study, protease-producing bacteria were isolated from the marine sedimentary layer in coastal Jeju. We isolated 2 protease producing strains (SK-2 and SK-125) and tested their protesase producing activities. Gram staining and BIOLOG of isolated strains revealed that strains SK-2 and SK-125 belong to Bacillus and Pseudoalteromonas families, respectively. The 16S rDNA nucleotide sequences analyses of the isolated strains showed 99% sequence homology with those of Bacillus sp. and Pseudoalteromonas sp.; therefore, the isolated strains SK-2 and SK-125 were named Bacillus sp. SK-2 and Pseudoalteromonas sp. SK-125, respectively. The optimum conditions for the cell growth of protease activities were obtained when the both isolates were cultured at 30¡É, 96 hrs and pH 7¢¦8.
