In the present study, protein digestion, blood stain removal and de-hairing ability of protease produced by Bacillus sonorensis ASKL-09 was evaluated. The protease produced by Bacillus sonorensis ASKL-09 showed excellent fibrinolytic action and hydrolyse egg albumin and blood clots. The protease produced by Bacillus sonorensis ASKL-09 removed bloodstains on the cloth within short time (25 min). The protease produced by Bacillus sonorensis ASKL-09 was better for de-hairing process which finds an excellent application in leather industry and could reduce environmental hazards that usually generated by conventional method of de-hairing at leather industries.
