ABSTRACT            Background and Objectives: Halophilic bacteria can grow and survive in environments with a wide range a wide range of salinities. In this study, we aimed to isolate halophilic bacteria from the Meyghan Lake in Arak (Iran) and evaluate their enzymatic activity.            Methods: Samples were taken from four different areas of the lake. Halophilic bacteria were isolated by...

The Actinomycetes are gram-positive, unicellular bacteria that grow in a typical filamentous manner on solid substrates and may synthesis wide range of secondary metabolites, including enzymes. Proteases universally present enzymes catalyze hydrolytic processes break down protein molecules into peptides amino acids. protease enzyme is used food detergent industries. goal the current investigati...

Panibacillus sp. strain JCM 10914 is a xylanolytic alkaliphile isolated from the gut of a soil-feeding termite. Its draft genome sequence revealed various genes for hydrolytic enzymes and will facilitate studies on adaptation to the highly alkaline gut environment and its role in digesting soil organic matter in the gut.

We report mixed carbonates as enzyme substrates and demonstrate their application as fluorogenic probes for lipase and esterase enantiopreference screening. By the application of pseudoenantiomers with distinct fluorescence behaviors, it is possible to evaluate the activity and enantiopreference of hydrolytic enzymes. In order to validate our method, enantioselectivities calculated from fluorom...

Paenibacillus sp. A59 was isolated from decaying forest soil in Argentina and characterized as a xylanolytic strain. We report the draft genome sequence of this isolate, with an estimated genome size of 7 Mb which harbor 6,424 coding sequences. Genes coding for hydrolytic enzymes involved in lignocellulose deconstruction were predicted.

to determine the extent and the size of the environment pollution with heavy metals, biologicalmethods, investigating the enzymatic activity of soil can be applied. most frequently, the enzymes investigated in the soils threatened with anthropogenic contamination are phosphatases, dehydrogenases as reacting fastest to the increase in the content of heavy metals in the environment. the aim of th...
