Strategies Towards the Functionalization <strong>of</strong> Bacillus subtilis Subtilisin E for Wool Finishing Applications<br />

subtilisin was secreted to the periplasmic space, (figures 3 <strong>and</strong> 4), which revealed that<br />

pET25b (+) pelB leader sequence was not a suitable signal sequence to export this<br />

protease, in the set <strong>of</strong> conditions tested. In figures 3 <strong>and</strong> 4 representative results<br />

obtained for strain BL21(DE3) are shown for all the parameters tested (culture<br />

temperature, inducer concentration <strong>and</strong> induction phase temperature). Similar results<br />

were obtained for the strains BL21(DE3)pLysS <strong>and</strong> Tuner, using the same<br />

fermentations conditions.<br />
