Among many extremozymes, thermophilic enzymes have attracted most attention during the past four decades. Such enzymes are of considerable industrial and biotechnological interest due to the fact that the enzymes are better suited for harsh industrial processes. There are many advantages of conducting industrial processes at high temperature, such as the increased solubility of many polymeric substrates, resulting in decreased viscosity, increased bioavailability, faster reaction rate and the decreased risk of microbial contamination (Gomes J., 2004). Proteases execute a large variety of functions and have important biotechnological applications. They could be useful for degradation of different protein sources, so find potential application for waste treatment, bioremediation processes, in detergents and in leather industry.
