Abstract
A 22-kDa endoserine protease secreted by an Arthrobacter aureus strain was identified. The optimal temperature for this protease was 70 degrees C. Protease production was maximal at the end of the exponential growth phase, and the protease was induced by amino acids and peptides and repressed by carbon sources.
