Production of Extracellular Enzymes by Halophilic Bacteria Isolated from Solar Salterns
During the course of survey of halophilic microorganisms, a total of sixteen bacterial isolates were obtained from coastal solar salterns of Orissa and West Bengal, India. Morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics of these isolates indicate that majority of them belong to the genus Halomonas, however, members belonging to Cobetia and Halococcus were not uncommon. These isolat...
متن کاملExtremely halophilic bacteria in crystallizer ponds from solar salterns.
It is generally assumed that hypersaline environments with sodium chloride concentrations close to saturation are dominated by halophilic members of the domain Archaea, while Bacteria are not considered to be relevant in this kind of environment. Here, we report the high abundance and growth of a new group of hitherto-uncultured Bacteria in crystallizer ponds (salinity, from 30 to 37%) from mul...
متن کاملOptimization of Carbon and Nitrogen Sources for Extracellular Polymeric Substances Production by Chryseobacterium indologenes MUT.2
Background: Bacterial Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS) are environmental friendly and versatile polymeric materials that are used in a wide range of industries such as: food, textile, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. To make the production process of the EPS cost-effective, improvements in the production yield is required which could be implemented through application of processes such a...
متن کاملModulation of the Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS) Production by Quorum Sensing (QS) in Bacteria
Microorganisms are ubiquitous in their presence on the planet but the communication network they use to adapt, grow and survive is still under the exploration among the biologist world. The prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms grow as single species or in consortium under diverse ecosystems synthesize and release macromolecules known as extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). These 80% e...
متن کاملExtracellular polymeric substances of bacteria and their potential environmental applications.
Biopolymers are considered a potential alternative to conventional chemical polymers because of their ease of biodegradability, high efficiency, non-toxicity and non-secondary pollution. Recently, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS, biopolymers produced by the microorganisms) have been recognised by many researchers as a potential flocculent for their applications in various water, wastewa...
