title: Metalloprotease from Bacillus thuringiensis.
abstract: Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki was shown to produce an extracellular, metal chelator-sensitive protease during the early stages of sporulation. Protease production in nutrient broth was dependent upon supplementation with Mn2+ or Ca2. The addition of Ca24 was required for enzyme stabilization...
