Prodigiosin-Producing Bacteria from Marine Sources

Sources of Amylase-producing Bacteria.

Screening and identification of biosurfactant producing marine bacteria from the Caspian Sea

Marine microorganisms have unique physiological properties and novel metabolites such as biosurfactant to live in extreme habitats (e.g. oil polluted environment). The aim of this study was to characterize some biosurfactant-producing bacteria collected from sediment and seawater samples from the Caspian Sea. These bacteria were isolated using enrichment method in ONR7a medium with crude oil as...

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...

Isolation and characterization of exopolysaccharide from biofilm producing marine bacteria

Marine bacterial exopolysaccharides are fascinating industrial uses and presence of bioactive compounds. In this present study , Exopolysaccharide producing Micrococcus sp isolated from Arabian Sea and was identified by morphological and biochemical characteristics. Exopolysaccharide characterized by Infra Red spectroscopy and Antibacterial activity done by disc diffusion method with the clinic...

Isolation of Fucosyltransferase-Producing Bacteria from Marine Environments

Fucose-containing oligosaccharides on the cell surface of some pathogenic bacteria are thought to be important for host-microbe interactions and to play a major role in the pathogenicity of bacterial pathogens. Here, we screened marine bacteria for glycosyltransferases using two methods: a one-pot glycosyltransferase assay method and a lectin-staining method. Using this approach, we isolated ma...
