Industrial enzyme producing bacteria are essential for advancements in biotechnology. This study aims to identify bacterial strains from sheep and goat milk capable of producing industrially valuable enzymes. Basic Gram’s Staining and motility tests were performed from the bacterial colony of samples. Milk samples yielded a colony of bacteria which were screened for protease and amylase production. IMVIC tests demonstrated the feasibility of utilizing sheep and goat milk as a rich source of industrially valuable enzyme producing bacteria. By using SDS – PAGE the presence of the protein molecules is found. This study contributes to the discovery of novel enzyme-producing bacteria from unconventional sources, providing opportunities for the development of sustainable and efficient industrial processes. In this case, the results suggest that sheep and goat milk can serve as a rich source of industrially relevant enzymeproducing bacteria, offering potential applications in food processing, textile, and pharmaceutical industries. This demonstrated that certain bacterial strains exhibited high enzyme activity, highlighting their potential for industrial applications. Further studies on optimizing enzyme production and understanding the genetics of these isolates could lead to the development of new microbial strains for efficient enzyme production in various industries.
