Abstract

Novel enzymes exhibiting proteolytic activity in alkaline media and stability at high temperatures and under alkaline conditions are produced by a novel Bacillus strain designated GX6638 or its mutants or variants. These enzymes are especially well-suited for inclusion in washing compositions. A culture of GX6638 has been deposited with the American Type Culture Collection, Rockville, Md. as ATCC No. 53278.
