  The present study aims at screening and isolates thermostable alkaline protease producing bacteria from soil sample in the northern part of Cameroon, and characterizes their enzyme. Samples of soil were collected from four (04) North Cameroonian towns (Ngaoundere, Garoua, Figuil and Maroua). Six (06) isolates showed important proteolytic activity on skim milk agar. The strain N2.3.5 from Ngaoundere showed the largest hydrolysis halo (24 mm) and was selected for protease production. The partial identification of strain N2.3.5 through morphological and biochemical characterization enabled us to classify it as belonging to the genus Bacillus sp. The growth of the strain N2.3.5 and its enzyme production profile showed that the growth of the bacteria was a diauxic type, and that the protease production was not directly associated with the microbial gro..
