Abstract

Recent developments in industrial biotechnology have resulted in the exploitation of new and undiscovered microorganisms and the devising of improved methods for enzyme production, which have led to increased yields of the enzyme, thus making a viable industrial process feasible. This review tracks the developments in the field of acidic and neutral protease production with regard to the producers, methods of production and
their improvement, the product and its applications.

Keywords

neutral protease; acidic protease; fermentation; genetic engineering; purification; enzyme assay
