Abstract The aim of current study was to identify, characterize and isolate protease producing bacteria from soil sample. Commencing from the isolation by spreading technique on nutrient agar media, at 350C for 20 hrs. Followed by screening and characterization based on temperature, pH, nitrogen, and carbon sources. Two colonies U-2 and U-4 were selected and identified as Maecescens Serretia and Proteus Myxofaciens, the highest urease producing bacteria among the four that were taken forward for the study. Different Biochemical tests and microscopic identification tests were done for the screening of the bacteria. The U-2 bacteria showed maximum growth at temperature 350C, pH needed 3, potassium nitrate as nitrogen source and d-mannitol as carbon sources. Whereas, temperature requirement for the highest growth for U-4 was 250C, dextrose as carbon source but pH and nitrogen source were like the U-2 bacteria. At last, enzyme activity assay was performed to know the urease activity using well diffusion method.
