aProtease activity by all bacterial strains was performed in triplicate and data expressed as mean±standard deviation; bRPA value was used to classify strains based on enzyme activity as excellent (RPA > 5.0), good (2.0 ≤ RPA ≥ 5.0), or poor (RPA ≤ 2.0); c,dProtease production was significant at p≤0.05 and p≤0.01 level, respectively. |
