Isolation of L-Glutaminase Producing Marine Actinomycetes
author
Abstract:
L Glutaminase, a therapeutic enzyme obtained from marine Actinomycetes gains importance because of their adaptability to varied environmental factors. An experimental study was carried out to isolate the L glutaminase producing actinomycetes from the marine sediment of Thoothukudi. Marine sediment sample was collected from six different locations of the Thoothukudi coastal ecosystem, enriched with glutamine broth to enhance the population of Actinomycetes. After enrichment , selective media were used for isolating the Actinomycetes. Ninety four isolate was obtained and all the isolates were screened for L Glutaminase activity in a rapid plate assay method. Three isolates showed strong activity with enzyme production to the level of 9.42 IU to 16.94 IU /ml. The isolate DSG 18 had produced 16.94± 0.62 IU and it could be used a good source of glutaminase.

full textIsolation and identification of actinomycetes for production of novel extracellular glutaminase free L-asparaginase.
Over the recent years glutaminase free L-asparaginase has gained more importance due to better therapeutic properties for treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Actinomycetes are known for L-asparaginase activity. In the current study, 80 actinomycetes were isolated from various soil habitats by serial dilution technique. Presence of L-asparaginase was investigated in a total of 240 actinom...

Introduction: L-asparaginase is an anti-neoblastic agent used in the chemotherapy of lymphoblastic leukemia. This enzyme is widely distributed among microorganisms, plants and animals, but microorganisms have proved to be a better alternative for L-asparaginase, thus facilitating its large-scale production. Actinomycetes are filamentous, Gram-positive bacteria widely distributed in the marine e...
full textSelective Isolation of Rare Actinomycetes Producing Novel Antimicrobial Compounds
Microbial pathogens are developing resistance against existing antibiotics, stressing the urgency for discovery of new therapeutic compounds. Actinomycetes, alone produce 70-80% of the available antibiotics. The chances of isolating undiscovered strains from the terrestrial habitats have diminished so that the search for novel products has switched to rare genera of actinomycetes from normal ha...

Cardaria draba is an important, troublesome weed in the sustainable production of wheat. Inthe first step of this study, 100 actinomycete isolates were purified from soil samples collectedfrom the rhizosphere and phyllosphere of plants in different provinces of Iran. All isolates weresubjected to primary screening by assaying the fermentation broth of the sterile surfaces of C.draba leaves. Con...

One marine bacterial strain, R3, has been newly isolated from the intertidal zone of Dinghai sea area. Measurements of a-keto acids and H2O2 existing in fermentation supernatant were carried out to show that R3 can produce L-amino acid oxidase (LAAO) with a broad substrate specificity. Physiological and biochemical analysis showed that it can grow great at the conditions with sodium chloride co...
