My aim of the Ph.D. was to produce, purify and characterize thrombolytic protein from microorganisms. Initially, several environment samples screened for proteolytic and thrombolytic protein using a screening media. Next, the strains identified were isolated and purified and Preserved for future use. Finally, fermentation media was designed and optimized to produce the thrombolytic protein. The protein produced was purified using techniques of salting out and chromatography. Lastly, the purified protein was characterized using molecular biology tools and identified using in-silico approach. The various computational algorithm used to compare the protein with available enzymes.
