PURIFICATION AND BIOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF NOVEL FIBRINOLYTIC PROTEASE PRODUCED BY MESOPHILIC BACILLUS CIRCULANS GD25
A novel fibrinolytic protease from Bacillus circulansGD25 was isolated and characterized for the fibrinolytic activity. The fibrinolytic protease was purified by ammonium sulphate fractionation (70%) and subjected to chromatographic methods like Sephadex G-50, DEAE –Sephadex A-50 columns. The purified enzyme has an approximately 38 kDa in size by SDS-PAGE and gel filtration. Optimum activity was...
