Description
Actinobacteria from semiarid zones have been poorly studied and act as promising fonts of biotechnologically applicable hydrolytic enzymes. Proteases play a major role in industry, being responsible for the majority of the profit of this segment. Thus, this work focuses on the prospection of proteolytic enzymes from the semi-arid region of northeast Brazil, an understudied zone with buried biotechnological applications. Overall, 91,12% (41 of 45) of the studied strains were able to produce those enzymes, which shows a great initial potential for further studies
