The current paper investigates skimmed milk (protein) degrading bacteria found in kitchen waste for maximum skimmed milk activity and growth of bacteria at pH and optimum temperature. Sample was collected from household kitchen waste and bacterial strains were isolated using nutrient agar media. Enrichment technique was used for isolating PDB (protein degrading bacteria) strains. The objective of research was to utilize effective bacteria for degrading complex polymer protein into simpler amino acids under optimum conditions. Out of 06 isolated bacterial strains, only two were having effective protein degrading bacteria. These two isolates were screened for qualitative estimation through Skimmed milk medium and quantitatively tested by Protease activity was measured by the standard method. The optimum pH and temperature for most potent isolate was recorded as 7 pH and 37°C correspondingly. These optimum working conditions were recommended for biomass utilization.
