Extracellular esterase activity from Bacillus stearothermophilus

Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Bacillus stearothermophilus has been reported to produce an extracellular esterase with molecular weight of 42–47 kDa. Extracellular esterase activity in Bacillus stearothermophilus (NCIB 13335) was found to reside in protein with a molecular weight less than 10 kDa. This small esterase was responsible for all the esterase activity observed in this strain under the conditions studied.
