Abstract
The current study was attempted to isolate and characterize the protease producing Bacillus sp. Among the 3 strains isolated from soil sample collected f rom kuppam region, Chennai, India. One strain (PR01) exhibited potent proteolytic activity. Based on the morphological, biochemical and molecular characterization, the isolate (PR01) was identified as Bacillus sp. The strain was designated as Bacillus sp P R01. The maximum growth of Bacillus sp PR01was observed at pH 7. The optimum temperature for the growth of Bacillus sp PR01 was found to be 27 ° C an d incubation time for 2 days. The maximum growth was noted when yeast extract was used as a nitrogen source a nd dextrose was used as the carbon source. The production of enzyme Bacillus sp PR01 was carried out in production medium. The t otal protein concentration was determined and the specific activity was also performed by casein hydrolysis assay.
