Hydrolysis of casein: a differential aid for the indentification of Serratia marcescens.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Through the hydrolysis of casein, a cultural characteristic has been established in the preliminary identification of Serratia marcescens. Compared against 438 strains of the families, Pseudomonadaceae and Enterobacteriaceae, this organism has a reproducible capability to decompose casein, while most other Gram-negative bacilli failed to produce any hydrolysis, or, at the most, hazy zones only. Routine use has shown this to be a valuable differential aid in the identification of Serratia marcescens.

Chitinase production by newly isolated Serratia marcescens B4A was optimized following Taguchi’sarray methods. Twenty-three bacterial isolates were screened from shrimp culture ponds in the South ofIran. A chitinase-producing bacterium was isolated based on it’s ability to utilize chitin as the sole carbonsource. The isolate designated as B4A, was identified as Serratia marces...

Extracellular protease produced by Serratia marcescens isolated from the gut of termite (Centrocestus formosanus) was investigated in this study. The effect of temperature, pH, carbon and nitrogen sources on protease production was examined. The extracellular protease was separated from the culture supernatant of the organism through precipitation with ammonium sulfate. The protease was purifie...
