Abstract

A bacterial strain No.71, which produced alkaline protease, was isolated from soil and identified to the genus Bacillus. With the successive mutation, a mutant strain No. M-71, having high alkaline protease productivity, was obtanined from the parental strain No 71. Alkaline protease productivity of mutant strain No. M-71 was about 50 times as much as that of the parental strain No.71. The enzyme preparations showed strong activities toward casein, the optimum pH being 11.0 and the optimum temperature about $55^{\circ}C$.
