Abstract

Alkaline protease producing bacteria were isolated from soil and identified as Bacillus sp. CW-1121. It was found that the production of alkaline protease reached to maximum in 5 day of fermentation at 4$0^{\circ}C$. The enzyme was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration on Sephadex G-150 and DEAE-cellulose ion-exchange chromatography. The homogeneity of the purified enzyme was verified by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme was purified 5.72 fold and yield of the enzyme purification was 16.71%. When the purified enzyme was applied to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the molecular weight was estimated to be 55, 000.
