Characteristics of mannanase enzyme in actinomycetes isolated from Taman Nasional Bukit Duabelas Jambi

Studies on L-asparaginase enzyme of actinomycetes isolated from estuarine fishes.

Actinomycetes were isolated from different organs viz. skin, gills and gut contents of three species of fishes viz. Mugil cephalus (Linnaeus, 1758), Chanos chanos (Forskal, 1775) and Etroplus suratensis (Bloch, 1780) using three different media from the Vellar estuary, situated along the southeast coast of India. Among the three fishes, M. cephalus harboured highest number of actinomycetes popu...

Antibacterial activity of actinomycetes isolated from native sponge of Persian Gulf (Kharku Island) against pathogens

Resistant of pathogens to common antibiotics is a major global problem, and efforts discover new antibiotics from less known resources, is an inevitable. Native sponges of Persian Gulf have high potential in the field of medical biology, but have received little attention. In this study, actinomycetes that capable to produce anti-bacterial metabolites isolated and examined. Two sponges of Persi...

Antibacterial activity of some actinomycetes isolated from soils of Alborz province, Iran

Screening of microorganisms for the production of novel antibiotics has been intensivelypursued for many years by scientists. Actinomycetes have the capability to synthesize manydifferent antibiotics. A total of 69 actinomycete isolates were recovered from soil samplescollected from Alborz Province. Selected colonies (rough, chalky) of actinomycetes werepurified. All screened isolates were iden...

Lignin-solubilizing ability of actinomycetes isolated from termite (Termitidae) gut.

The lignocellulose-degrading abilities of 11 novel actinomycete strains isolated from termite gut were determined and compared with that of the well-characterized actinomycete, Streptomyces viridosporus T7A. Lignocellulose bioconversion was followed by (i) monitoring the degradation of [14C]lignin- and [14C]cellulose-labeled phloem of Abies concolor to 14CO2 and 14C-labeled water-soluble produc...
