Screening of Mucor Spp. for the Production of Amylase, Lipase, Polygalacturonase and Protease
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fungi are well known by their ability to excrete enzymes into the environment. Among them, representatives of Mucor Fresen. have important biotechnological potential and some of them produce industrial enzymes. This work studied amylase, lipase, polygalacturonase and protease production by fifty-six isolates of Mucor belonging to 11 different taxa, selected from herbivores dung using solid media. The results showed that the majority of the isolates presented several enzymatic activities with predominance of polygalacturonase (96%), followed by amylase (84%), protease (82%) and lipase (66%).

Saline rhizospheric areas are untouched environments for isolating actinomycetes with the potential of valuable salt tolerant enzyme production. In this study, we isolated and evaluated a total number of of 26 actinomycete strains from plant rhizosphere of the periphery of Dasht-e-Kavir desert. Isolated actinomycetes produced different enzymes. Among them 50, 46, 39, 27, 10 and 7 % of the isola...

The application of new probiotics is a good strategy in the biological control of infectious diseases in aquaculture. Approximately 100 marine actinobacteria isolates were obtained from 10 sediment samples of shrimp farms. Heat treatment of sediment samples resulted in a selective reduction of the non actinobacterial heterotrophic microflora. Starch nitrate agar medium exhibited more efficacy t...

Exploiting the innate hydrolytic enzyme/s potential of the genus Bacillus for costeffective production of PHAs, using various agro-industrial wastes will contribute to cost reduction and elimination of pre-treatment protocols. PHA producing Bacillus spp. from different rhizospheric soils capable of producing a variety of hydrolytic enzymes were isolated. Two promising isolates: Ti1 and Ti3, fro...
