Isolation, screening and identification of bacteria producing thermostable protease
The various benefits of thermostable protease have been increasingly known for use in industrial applications. Thus, the aim of this research is to isolate, screen, and identify bacteria that produce thermostable protease. To study the capability of bacteria to produce thermostable protease, samples...
