Serratiopeptidase derived from S. marcescens SP6 underwent a four-step purification process, resulting in a 15.91-fold increase in purity, and exhibited resistance to degradation by trypsin and serum, suggesting its possible use as an adjunct therapeutic agent alongside conventional antimicrobials to combat biofilm-associated infections.
The widespread prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in community and healthcare settings has driven the urgent search for novel antibacterial agents. Mangrove sediments are an underexplored source of antimicrobial-producing bacteria. This study characterized an antimicrobial fraction and the...
Pediocin PA-1 is a Class IIa bacteriocin with potent activity against foodborne pathogens, but its application is limited by the lack of efficient purification methods. In this study, pediocin PA-1 was purified from Pediococcus acidilactici LH31 using a two-step procedure consisting of pH-mediated cell adsorption-desor...

Keratinases are specialized proteases capable of degrading recalcitrant keratin and have attracted considerable interest for environmentally sustainable bioprocessing. In this study, a keratinase gene from Bacillus tequilensis strain YIV, isolated from tannery waste in Kasur, Pakistan, was cloned, expressed, and charac...
