Optimization of Chitinase production by soil Streptomyces sp. SJKP9
نویسندگان
چکیده
Streptomyces sp. SJKP9 was isolated from the shore soil sample of Dhanushkodi, TN and evaluated for chitinase production. Maximum chitinase production was observed on day 8 of incubation while, pH 6 and temperature 30°C were found to be optimum. Culture medium with colloidal chitin was found to be suitable for chitinase production. Sucrose and yeast extract, when used as additional carbon and nitrogen sources and addition of amino acids to the culture medium influenced chitinase production. Crude chitinase exhibited both antifungal and antibacterial activity against wide range of organisms.

Optimization of Culture Conditions for Keratinase Production in Streptomyces Sp. JRS19 for Chick Feather Wastes Degradation
The aim of this study was to find the optimal conditions of a newly isolated Streptomyces strain JRS 19. Screening for keratinase producing bacteria and their keratinase production were investigated. The keratinase produced by the isolate was purified by chromatographic techniques and the optimum pH maintained was 7.0 and maintained at different temperatures Viz., 20ºC, 25ºC, 30ºC, 35ºC and 40º...

Chitinase production by a terrestrial Streptomyces sp. ANU 6277 was studied under sub-merged fermentation. Chitinase production started after 24 h of incubation and reached maximum levels after 60 h of cultivation. A high level of chitinase activity was observed in the culture medium with pH 6 at 35°C. Culture medium amended with 1% chitin was found to be suitable for maximum production of chit...

A soil bacterium capable of degrading chitin on chitin agar plates was isolated and identified as Bacillus pumilus isolate U5 on the basis of 16S rDNA sequence analysis. In order to optimize culture conditions for chitinase production by this bacterium, a two step approach was employed. First, the effects of several medium components were studied using the Plackett-Burman design. Among various ...

متن کاملHigh expression levels of chitinase genes in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) grown in soil.
Although Streptomyces species are major chitin-degraders in soil ecosystems, the expression of the diverse chitinase genes within Streptomyces coelicolor grown in soil has not been assessed. As a first step, the induction pattern of nine chitinase genes in S. coelicolor growing in autoclaved soil was compared with those in liquid cultures. The relative expression levels of nine chitinase genes ...
