abstract

screening and identification of moderately halophilic protease producing bacteria from different regions of maharloo, a hypersaline lake in the southern area of iran, were the objectives of this study. in the preliminary screening, 16 isolates exhibited proteolytic activity on saline skim milk agar. all isolates were able to grow comfortably in the media containing 7-15% of salt. protease activity was assessed through in vitro colorimetric assays for general proteases and the strains were identified by 16s rdna molecular marker. in comparison to gram-negative bacteria, the gram-positive rods, displayed higher proteolytic activities, and bacillus sp. bccs 041 was found as the highest protease producing strain with 0.43 u/ml of supernatant activity.

Isolation, Screening and Characterization of Hyaluronidase Producing Bacteria

      Hyaluronidase has a panoramic use in biotechnology processes and therapy due to its therapeutic, pathophysiological, physiological and biological importance. Since much of the preparations of hyaluronidases are from animal source (bovine and ovine testicular sources) with limited sources of microbial origin, that prompted the authors to screen and isolate a new promising bacterial strain ...

Isolation of Halophilic Bacteria from Maharlu salt Lake - Iran and their evaluation for the production of bioactive compounds

Halophilic bacteria grow over a wide range of salt concentrations. In this study we aimed to isolate and screen out the halophilic bacteria and to determine their activity for production of the bioactive compounds. A total of 50 water, sediments and soil samples were collected from Maharlu salt lake in southern region of Fars-Iran and subjected for isolation of the bioactive compound producing ...

Screening of Alginate Lyase-Producing Bacteria and Optimization of Media Compositions for Extracellular Alginate Lyase Production

Background: Alginate is a linear polysaccharide consisting of guluronate (polyG) and mannuronate (polyM) subunits. Methods: In the initial screening of alginate-degrading bacteria from soil, 10 isolates were able to grow on minimal medium containing alginate. The optimization of cell growth and alginate lyase (algL) production was carried out by the addition of 0.8% alginate and 0.2-0.3 M NaCl ...

Isolation and Screening of Protease Enzyme Producing Bacteria from Cheese at Dilla University, Ethiopia

Enzymes are biological catalysts that facilitate the conversion of substrates into products by providing favorable conditions that lower the activation energy of the reaction. An enzyme may be a protein or a glycoprotein and consists of at least one polypeptide moiety. Proteases are the most important industrial enzymes and comprise about 25% of commercial enzymes in the world. Two third of the...
