Abstract
An extracellular protease of Bacillus subtilis K2, when compared with the pancreatic bate 'Oropon' used at comparable protease activity, pro duced a finer grain and greater elasticity of goat pelt. Quality of th e processed, finished leather after microbial bating showed <41% and < 14% increases in tensile and tear strengths, respectively, compared wi th 'Oropon'-bated leather.
