Structural-genetic characterization of protease producing genes and enzymes from microbial sources are seldom appreciated despite having its substantial utilization in protein engineering or genetic manipulation for biotechnological applications. Aeromonas veronii CMF, a mesophilic bacterium isolated from the gut of Chrysomya megacephala, was found to exhibited significant level of protease activity. For the revelation of genetic potential in relation to protease production, whole genome of this organism was sequenced and analysed while structure–function of different protease enzyme was predicated using various in silico analysis. The 4.5 mb CMF genome was found to encompass various types of protease and mostly they are neutral in nature. Enzyme production was highest in an optimum pH and temperature of 6.0 (32.09 ± 1.015 U/ml) and 35ºC (41.65 ± 1.152 U/ml), respectively. Other culture parameters for optimum production of protease were determined to be inoculum size (1%), incubation period (72 h), shaking condition (125 rpm), carbon and nitrogen source [2% lactose (92.21 ± 3.16 U/ml) and 0.5% urea (163.62 ± 4.31 U/ml), respectively] and effect of surfactants [0.02 mg/ml Tween 80 (174.72 ± 4.48 U/ml)]. Furthermore, A. veronii CMF exhibited significant enzyme production like serine protease (15.22 ± 0.563 U/ml), aspartate protease (33.16 ± 0.762 U/ml) and collagenase (17.26 ± 0.626 U/ml). Genomic information and results of physio-biochemical assays indicate its cost-effective potential use in different enzyme-industry.
