Morphological and molecular based identification of pectinase producing Bacillus licheniformis from rotten vegetable

Morphological and Molecular Differentiation of the Pectinase Producing Fungi Penicillium Expansum and Penicillium Griseoroseum

Two species from the genus Penicillium, Penicillium expansum and P. griseoroseum (Brasilian isolates) were characterized morphologic and molecularlly. Morphological variability was detected among isolates in regard to colony morphology and to conidia coloration. The molecular characterization was based on the RAPD markers, telomeric fingerprinting and ITS sequencing. A total of 78 RAPD primers ...

Isolation and Identification of an Alkaline Protease Producing Bacillus from Soil

Isolation and Molecular Identification of Keratinase-Producing Bacteria from the Sludge of Qeshm Island

ABSTRACT           Background and Objectives: Keratinase is an enzyme commonly used in the production of detergents, cosmetics, drugs, leather, and other industries. Considering the high cost of traditional methods for decomposition of feather, hair, hooves, nails, and wool that contain high levels of keratin, their biodegradation with keratinase-...

Isolation and molecular identification of carotenoid-producing bacteria

The production of pigments from bacteria is significant due to the low cost, high yield and ease of extract compared with other sources. Carotenoids are one of the most important pigments with antioxidant properties which are the precursor of vitamin A synthesis and have antibody overproduction ability, anti-tumor activity and inhibitory effect on the cardiovascular disease. The present study a...

Isolation and molecular identification of bacteria producing alkaline phosphatase enzyme from environmental sources

Alkaline phosphatase (ortho phosphate, monoester hydrolase phosphoinositide E. C. 3.1.3.1) is a non-specific metalloproteinase enzyme that is located inside periplasmic space of bacteria. This enzyme is used to measure freshwater sediment in genetic engineering for cleaning water. Isolation and molecular identification of the bacteria producing alkaline phosphatase and comparison of its product...
