Isolation and Characterization of Cellulase Roducing Bacteria from Termite Gut
Lignocelluloses are the most abundant organic compound in the nature. The cellulosic waste can be used as a potential source of Bio-energy. For the conversion of cellulosic waste to a fuel source, the complex structure of cellulose has to be broken and the glucose monomers obtained can be fermented to bio-ethanol the methods present today are chemicals and enzymatic method. Chemicals methods ar...
متن کاملLignin-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...
متن کاملDegradation of Trichloroethylene by Bacteria Isolated from Activated Sludge
Trichloroethylene (TCE) is one of the most serious chlorinated pollutants of some groundwater of many industrial countries so that a possibility of its microbial degradation is an aim of many research and engineer teams. Natural strain C. testosteroni RF2 and its derivative strain VM obtained by mutagenesis were tested for their capability to trichloroethylene (TCE) degradation. Both strains we...
متن کاملHydrogen-dependent oxygen reduction by homoacetogenic bacteria isolated from termite guts.
Although homoacetogenic bacteria are generally considered to be obligate anaerobes, they colonize the intestinal tracts of termites and other environments that are not entirely anoxic in space or time. In this study, we investigated how homoacetogenic bacteria isolated from the hindguts of various termites respond to the presence of molecular oxygen. All strains investigated formed growth bands...
متن کاملAnthracene degradation by an oligotrophic bacterium isolated from refinery soil
Anthracene is a widespread environmental pollutant with carcinogenic and genotoxic properties. Biodegradation is a simple, cost-effective and safe technique to clean-up contaminated environments. The aims of this study are isolation and characterization of an oligotrophic bacterium with the ability to degrade anthracene and the assessment of in vitro biodegradation process. For this purpose pet...
