Cellulase and Pectinase Production Potentials of <em>Aspergillus Niger</em> Isolated from Corn Cob

Pectinase production and purification from Bacillus subtilis isolated from soil

Pectinases are industrially important enzymes. The aim of this work was the isolation of pectinases producing Bacillus species from soil sample and their identification by phenotypic tests as well as production and purification pectinases enzyme. Isolated bacteria Subjected to various screening activity and gives pectinases screening test positive i.e. bacteria produced pectinases enzyme. The e...

Optimization of Cellulase Production from Bacteria Isolated from Soil

Cellulase-producing bacteria were isolated from soil and identified as Pseudomonas fluorescens, Bacillus subtilIs, E. coli, and Serratia marcescens. Optimization of the fermentation medium for maximum cellulase production was carried out. The culture conditions like pH, temperature, carbon sources, and nitrogen sources were optimized. The optimum conditions found for cellulase production were 4...

Pectinase Activity of some Micromycetes Isolated from Agricultural Soils

Pectinases have multiple nature and various forms which are necessary for the hydrolysis of pectin in several conventional industrial and natural processes. In this investigation fourteen fungal strains which isolated from agricultural soils ,were screened for pectinase activity. Pectinase activity were measured in vitro by assaying released reducing sugar from pectin as sole carbon source. Asp...

Preparation and characterization of activated carbons from corn cob

Removal of Metribuzin Herbicide from Aqueous Solution Using Corn Cob

Agricultural solid waste (corn cob) has been investigated asbiosorbent for removal of metribuzin herbicide from aqueous solution. Parameters influencing extraction efficiency such as pH of the sample, contact time of sample with biosorbent, shaking time, temperature, heating time, sorbent dose were studied. Maximum sorption of metribuzinwas found at pH 5.0. The sorption of metribuzin on corn co...
