Abstract

A thermophilic bacteria showing proteolytic activity against defatted soybean was isolated from soil. It was identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens based on its morphological and physiological characteristics. The Bacillus amyloliquefaciens NS 15-4 was cultivated at 50$\circ$C by rotary shaking in a medium containing defatted soybean. An extracellular protease from this strain was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion exchange, and hydrophobic interaction chromatographies. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be approximately 30,000 by SDS-PAGE and the N-terminal amino acid sequence of the enzyme was turned out to be AQSVPYGISQIKAPA. The optimum temperature and pH for the enzyme reaction were 60$\circ$C and 11, respectively, and its thermostability was increased by the addition of calcium ion. The enzyme was inactivated by phenylmethylsulfonylfluoride, suggesting it be a serine protease. Comparing with other commercial proteases, the enzyme showed relatively high proteolytic activity against defatted soybean, a water-insoluble protein substrate.
