The objective of the present study was to identify protease producing bacteria isolated from food processing industries. Isolation of the organism was performed by serial dilution agar plate technique and initial screening of protease production was done using gelatine agar plates by flooded the plates with mercuric chloride solution (HgCl2-15g and 20 ml of N HCl made up to 100 ml with distilled water). A total of 5 isolates were selected based on zone diameter in gelatine clear zone method and named as TKMFT8, TKMFT22, TKMFT25, TKMFT39 and TKMFT53. | Biochemical identification of protease producing bacterial isolates from food industries by Vitek 2 compact system
