ABSTRACT

Horse gram (Microtylona uniflorum) is a novel substrate for the production of serratiopeptidase by using a novel source Streptomyces hydrogenans var. under solid state fermentation, was first recognized in the present study. Various bioprocess parameters, were optimized by one factor at a time approach manner. The Maximum yield 85 U/gds was achieved with the following optimized fermentation parameters: Solid substrate (Horse gram)), particle size (
