Alkaline proteases stable in heavy-duty detergent liquids

摘要

Alkaline proteases that are stable in the presence of linear alkylbenzene sulfonates can be obtained from bacteria isolated from soil and by other means. The soils are collected from an alkaline environment which has been exposed to extremely high pH and/or detergent contamination. The proteases are at least twice as stable as Esperase™ when stored in commercial liquid detergents.
