Abstract
Cultural conditions have been optimised for the production of protease s by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens in solid-state fermentation. Maximal e nzyme activity was produced at 37 degrees C with an aeration of 4 litr e/min in a laboratory-fabricated horizontal tray reactor. The enzyme p roduced was used for the unhairing of hides and skins.
