Subtilisin YaB, produced by alkalophilic Bacillus strain YaB, is an extracellular alkaline serine protease having 55% homology to subtilisin BPN'. It is synthesized as a 378-amino acid preproenzyme and secreted into the culture medium as a 265-amino acid mature protease. To examine the role of pro-sequence for the secretion of subtilisin YaB, we have studied the expression, in Bacillus subtilis, of a mutant preprosubtilisin YaB in which active site Ser214 is substituted with Cys. The use of a six protease-deficient strain, WB600, was required for its efficient production. The prosubtilisin YaB, thus produced, was indeed secreted into the culture medium and was processed to its mature form upon treatment with exogenously added active subtilisin YaB. From these results, we have concluded that the processing of pro-sequence is not essential for the secretion of the enzyme.

The effects of inorganic salts and feather concentrations on pretense production by Bacillus megaterium F7-1 were investigated. Pretense production was dependent on the presence of phosphates in the medium. Supplementation of medium with calcium ion slightly increased protease production. The highest protease production was obtained at $1.4\%$ feather. The optimal medium contained $2.0\%$ glucose, $0.8\%$ skim milk, $0.06\%\;K_{2}HPO_{4}\%,\;0.04\%\;KH_{2}PO{4},\;0.06\%\;NaCl,\;0.03\%\;MgCl_{2}\cdot6H_{2}O,\;0.002\%\;CaCl_{2}\cdot2H_{2}O,\;and\;1.4\%$ whole feather. By using this optimized medium, increased production of the protease was achieved compared with the cases of using basal medium.

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.

In this study, Bacillus licheniformis cells were immobilized by entrapment in calcium alginate beads and were used for production of alkaline protease by repeated batch process. In order to increase the stability of the beads, the immobilization procedure was optimized by statistical full factorial method, by which three factors including alginate type, calcium chloride concentration, and agitation speed were studied. Optimization of the enzyme production medium, by the Taguchi method, was also studied. The obtained results showed that optimization of the cell immobilization procedure and medium constituents significantly enhanced the production of alkaline protease. In comparison with the free-cell culture in pre-optimized medium, about 7.3-fold higher productivity was resulted after optimization of the overall procedure. Repeated batch mode of operation, using optimized conditions, resulted in continuous production of the alkaline protease for 13 batches in 19 days.

To improve the quality of traditional kochujang, strains with high protease and amylase activity were isolated and identified from Sunchang traditional kochujang. Twenty-three strains strongly producing protease and 16 strains strongly producing $\alpha$- and $\beta$-amylase were isolated by using 1% isolated soy protein agar medium and 2% starch agar medium, respectively. Protease activities of the IA7, I5, and IA2 strain were 22.5, 21.2, and 20.6 unit/mL, respectively, and were higher than those of the other strains. Stains with high $\alpha$-amylase activity included K9 (967.8 unit/mL), K14 (828.3 unit/mL), K13 (662.5 unit/mL), K8 (601.5 unit/mL), and K11 (405.9 unit/mL). The $\beta$-amylase activity of the K11 strain was the highest, 34.3 unit/mL, among the isolated strains. Based on morphological, physiological properties, and API 50CHB-kit test for assimilation of 49 carbohydrates, 8 strains selected according to protease, $\alpha$-amylase, and $\beta$-amylase activities were tentatively identified as Bacillus megaterium (IA2), Bacillus subtilis (IA7, 15), Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (K8, K9, K11, and K13), and Bacillus stearothermophillus (K14). The IA7, 15, and K11 strains were finally identified as B. subtilis (99% ID) based on 16S rDNA sequencing.
