Rapid Technique for Enumeration and Isolation of Peroxidase-producing Microorganisms

Isolation and Identification of Antibiotic Producing Microorganisms

Screening concepts for the isolation of biosurfactant producing microorganisms.

This chapter gives an overview of current methods for the isolation of biosurfactant producing microbes. The common screening methods for biosurfactants are presented. Sampling and isolation of bacteria are the basis for screening of biosurfactant producing microbes. Hydrocarbon-contaminated sites are the most promising for the isolation of biosurfactant producing microbes, but many strains hav...

Isolation, Identification and Characterization of Lipase Producing Microorganisms from Environment

Objective: Lipases represent an important group of hydrolytic proteins. These enzymes find numerous applications in the industrial sector to provide regioselective molecules of commercial interest. The present investigation was carried out to isolate and identify a bacterium that can quickly produce this enzyme from very simple and cost effective nutrient medium. Materials and Methods: Lipid as...

A Rapid Screening Method for Cutinase Producing Microorganisms

Both cutinase and lipase belong to the esterase group of enzymes (EC 3.1.1.X), which are capable of catalyzing the hydrolysis of ester bonds. Cutinase catalyzes the hydrolysis of cutin, an insoluble biopolyester which is the structural component of plant cuticles. As cutinase is an efficient catalyst in watery or organic media, it is potentially appropriate for the detergent, food and cosmetic ...

rapid isolation and molecular detection of streptomycin-producing streptomycetes

introduction: streptomyces species are mycelial, aerobic gram-positive bacteria that are isolated from soil and produce a diverse range of antibiotics. streptomyces griseus produces the antibiotic, streptomycin and forms spores even in a liquid culture. the gene cluster for the production of streptomycin antibiotic contains strr gene that encodes strr, a pathway-specific regulator. then, this p...
