Abstract

Abstract : Present study underlines an unusual non‐cumbersome‐powerful strategy for purification of SHG10 keratinolytic alkaline protease from Bacillus licheniformis SHG10 DSM 28096 with robust stability properties. The enzyme was impressively purified to homogeneity with specific activity, purification fold, and yield of 613.82 U mg −1, 58.91 and 99%, respectively, via a sequential two‐step purification strategy: precipitation with 65% (NH4 )2 SO4 and flow through fractions of DEAE‐cellulose DE 53 column. SDS–PAGE conferred a monomeric enzyme with a molecular mass of 30.4 kDa. The enzyme demonstrated optimal activity at pH (10.0–11.0) and at 65 °C. It exhibited full stability at pH (6.0–11.0) over 38 h at 4 °C and at 65 °C for 15 min. Remarkable enhanced enzyme activity (130.15 and 126.37%) was retained in presence of commercial laundry detergents Oxi and Ariel after 1 h, respectively. Organic solvent stability of the enzyme was verified in butanol, ether, acetonitrile, isopropanol, and chloroform. Imposingly, full storage stability (100%) of the enzyme along 1 year in −20 °C was confirmed. K m –V max was 0.00174 mM‐534.2 mM Sub · min −1 · mg protein −1 and 1.266 mg‐28.89 mg Sub · h −1 · mg protein −1 on N‐Suc‐Ala‐Ala‐Pro‐Phe‐ p NA and keratin azure, respectively. Robust stability properties of SHG10 keratinolytic alkaline protease along with rapid‐efficient purification underpin its potential commercialization for industrial exploitation.
