SUNANDA CHANDAI, KAKALI GHOSH AND SIBANI CHAKRABARTI
Abstract
A streptomycete strain with high proteolytic activity was isolated from a jute field of West Bengal, India. The morphological, cultural and physiological characteristics of this strain were studied in detail for its taxonomic identity. Its proteolytic activity and growth were studied on three different media using three different nitrogen sources. It was noted that this strain yields acidic, neutral as well as alkaline proteases simultaneously.
