The strain with antibacterial activity was isolated among soil samples collected in Suwon area. The isolated strain was identified as Bacillus sp. YR-1 with respect to its morphological, cultural, and physiological characteristics. Optimal medium for the highest production of antibiotic was composed of sucrose 2.0%(w/v), peptone 2.0%(w/v) and NaCl 0.1%(w/v). The maximum production of antibiotic was shown at $35^{\circ}C$ for 48 hours with the initial pH 7.0.
