Background: β-glucanase and protease, are the representative of most worldwide enzyme market. In this study, a strain producing β-glucanase and protease, identified as one type of Bacillus velezensis and named Y1, was isolated from the manure of piglet.Results:Its optimal β-glucanase-producing conditions were as: fermentation temperature of 37 °C, fermentation time of 60 h, initial pH of 6.0, outfit fluid amount of 50 mL/250 mL and carbon to nitrogen ratio was 1:1. The properties of the

... asewere that the most suitable reaction temperature was 65°C, the optimum pH was pH 6.0. The optimal protease-producing conditions were fermentation temperature of 37 °C, fermentation time of 60 h, initial pH of 7.0, outfit fluid amount of 75/250 mL and carbon to nitrogen ratio of 2:3.The properties of the protease showed that the most suitable reaction temperature was 50°C, the optimum pH was 6.0. And the enzyme had the best stability at 45°Cand pH 7.0. The effects of each factor on producing β-glucanase and protease by B. velezensis Y1 were as follows: temperature > time > pH > loaded liquid volume. The amplified PCR fragments of β-glucanase and protease were 1434 bp containing an open reading frame of 1413 bp encoding a protein with 444 amino acids and 1752 bp containing an open reading frame of 1521 bp encoding a protein with 506 amino acids, respectively.Conclusion: This study identified the enzymes production, optimized the fermentation conditions of β-glucanase and protease by B. velezensis. As well as the enzyme properties were investigated and genes were cloned.
