An inducible protease is produced by Bacillus sp. in undefined feather medium. Under submerged fermentation condition high level of protease production occurred at 45oC after 36 h at pH 10, with continuous agitation (180 rpm). The presence of carbon source in feather medium suppressed the enzyme production, while 0.1% yeast extract enhanced the production. The purified enzyme showed maximum protease activity at temperature 650C and at pH-10.The enzyme was monomeric and has molecular weight of approximately 66 kDa (SDS-PAGE).The enzyme may belong to serine protease group as it is completely inhibited by PMSF. Presence of metal ions such as Ca2+, Mg2+, Co2+, Ba2+ stimulated, while Hg2+, Pb2+, Zn2+, Fe2+ decreased the activity. The results indicate Bacillus sp. is a highly useful organism for feather meal production and in leather industry.
