Diversity of cultivable protease-producing bacteria and their extracellular proteases associated to scleractinian corals

Protease-producing bacteria play a vital role in degrading organic nitrogen in marine environments. However, the diversity of the bacteria and extracellular proteases has seldom been addressed, especially in communities of coral reefs. In this study, 136 extracellular protease-producing bacterial st...
