Organic solvent-tolerant bacterium which secretes an organic solvent-stable proteolytic enzyme

Organic Solvent Tolerant Lipases and Applications

Lipases are a group of enzymes naturally endowed with the property of performing reactions in aqueous as well as organic solvents. The esterification reactions using lipase(s) could be performed in water-restricted organic media as organic solvent(s) not only improve(s) the solubility of substrate and reactant in reaction mixture but also permit(s) the reaction in the reverse direction, and oft...

Discovery of a modified transcription factor endowing yeasts with organic-solvent tolerance and reconstruction of an organic-solvent-tolerant yeast Running title: Organic-solvent tolerance in yeast

Organic-Solvent and Surfactant Tolerant Thermostable Lipase, Isolated from a Thermophilic Bacterium, Geobacillus thermodenitrificans IBRL-nra

Lipases (triacylglycerol acylhydrolase, EC 3.1.1.3), catalyze the hydrolysis of long-chain triglycerides with the formation of diacylglyceride, monoglyceride, glycerol and fatty acids. Lipases are actively used in various industries which include food and diary, pharmaceuticals, organic synthesis and detergent and cosmetics. Thermostable lipases are commercially significant for their potential ...

Purification and Characterization of Haloalkaline, Organic Solvent Stable Xylanase from Newly Isolated Halophilic Bacterium-OKH

A novel, alkali-tolerant halophilic bacterium-OKH with an ability to produce extracellular halophilic, alkali-tolerant, organic solvent stable, and moderately thermostable xylanase was isolated from salt salterns of Mithapur region, Gujarat, India. Identification of the bacterium was done based upon biochemical tests and 16S rRNA sequence. Maximum xylanase production was achieved at pH 9.0 and ...

A protease stable in organic solvents from solvent tolerant strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

A solvent tolerant strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PseA) was isolated from soil samples by cyclohexane enrichment in medium. The strain was able to sustain and grow in a wide range of organic solvents. The adaptation of P. aeruginosa cell towards solvents was seen at membrane level in transmission electron micrographs. It also secreted a novel protease, which exhibited remarkable solvent stab...
