Abstract excerpt
We describe a simple and effective procedure to screen for active proteases among a large number of mutants. First, the mutants are genetically tested by the protease activity produced in the periplasm of transformed bacteria which supplies the cells with a nitrogen source by hydrolyzing a protein applied to plates. Then a less sensitive activity staining and an X-ray film digestion assay are used to verify and...
