In separating alkaline protease from the bacteria (Bacillus licheniformis) fermentation broth using reverse micelle, effects of various factors;ionic strength, pH and surfactant concentration, on separation efficiency were studied. KCl controls the ionic strength. The lower KCl concentration was in the feed solution, the more protein and activity was recovered. The higher KCl concentration was in the stripping solution, the more protein and activity was recovered. Using sodium-di-2-ethylhexyl sulfosuccinate(Aerosol-OT or AOT) as a surfactant, the higher AOT concentration in the solvent, the more activity and protein were recovered. 0.1N NaOH and IN HCl were used to adjust pH. Maximum recovery of protein mass and activity were obtained at feed solution of pH 5.3. Maximum activity was recovered at stripping solution of pH 7.5
