Bacillus clausii J1G-0%B, a halophilic bacterium isolated from Madura salt ponds, thrives in salinity levels of 0-20% NaCl. This study aims to obtain and characterize the protease produced by Bacillus clausii J1G-0%B, focusing on its activity and stability under extreme conditions.

Protease activity was measured using the Kunitz method, and protein content was determined using the Lowry method. Characterization included optimizing enzymatic conditions (pH, temperature, NaCl concentration), identifying metalloprotease types, and analyzing enzyme kinetics and thermodynamics. The study successfully produced protease using a halophilic medium with casein and 5% NaCl. After 96 hours of incubation, the protease exhibited a specific activity of 654.737 U/mg.
