This work highlights a simple and effective approach to improve industrial proteases using short late embryogenesis abundant peptides as natural stabilizers. The method enhanced yield, thermal stability, and pH adaptability across acidic and alkaline conditions without genetic redesign of the protease itself, offering a broadly applicable and economical strategy for enzyme improvement.

Characterization of a novel subfamily 1.4 lipase from Bacillus licheniformis IBRL-CHS2: Cloning and expression optimization

Ammar Khazaal Kadhim Almansoori, Nidyaletchmy Subba Reddy, Mustafa Abdulfattah, Sarah Solehah Ismail, Rashidah Abdul Rahim

This study presents a novel subfamily 1.4 lipase from *Bacillus licheniformis* IBRL-CHS2 and establishes an optimized recombinant expression system for producing the enzyme. The characterized lipase shows useful biochemical properties, including organic-solvent stability, supporting its potential value as a biocatalyst for industrial and biotechnological applications.
