A bacteria strain producing extracellular protein was isolated and identified from soil samples, and the optimum conditions of producing protein were investigated. Eleven strains of bacteria were isolated from soil samples. Among which WY-60 strain showed a very strong capability of producing protein and identified as a Bacillus sp. The optimum composition of nutrient medium for the production of the protein by WY-60 was fructose 4.0%, polypeptone 1.0%, NH©þNO©ý 0.1%, K©üHPO©þ 0.1%, MgSO©þ¡¤7H©üO 0.005%, CaCO©ý 1.0% and the optimum pH and temperature were 8.0 and 30¡É, respectively. The penicillin G and lincomycin added to the above medium were effective for the protein production of the WY-60, but other antibiotics were non-effective. The maximum production of protein was obtained after 5 days culture.
