Operative utility of salt-stable proteases of halophilic and halotolerant bacteria in the biotechnology sector

This review describes - halophilic/halotolerant proteolytic microorganisms as source of salt-stable protease, mechanisms of high salt tolerance, various physical and nutritional parameters affecting the protease production, purification strategies for protease, characteristics of salt-stable proteases, and commercial significance of salt-stable proteases. The study revises the current status of the research on salt-stable proteases obtained from extremophile with their operative utility in the biotechnology field.
