A newly isolated bacterium identified as Bacillus safensis based on biochemical tests and 16S rRNA analysis and its mutant variant created by exposure to ultraviolet radiation at 254 nm were investigated for keratinolytic activity. The wild-type strain produced 35.4-50.4 U/mL keratinase over a period of 120 h, while the mutant one yielded 64.4-108.5 U/mL keratinase for the same period of 120 h....

This present work is aimed to screen the PGA-producing Bacillus spp. from naturally fermented soybean foods of Arunachal Pradesh in India and characterize poly-glutamic acid (PGA) extracted A total 50 isolates were screened for high stickiness 165 bacterial isolated 34 samples viz., grep chhurpi, peha/paeha, peron namsing, peruñyaan. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, identified as Visco...

Abstract In a long-term symbiotic relationship between plants and pathogens, have evolved to harbor beneficially endophytic microbiomes, thereby conferring them the ability resist infection by pathogens. This prompted us establish phytopathogen-based co-culture platform for targeted isolation of potential biocontrol agents from via specific pathogen enrichment. this study, we investigated three...

The main objective of this study was to investigate the utilization various agro-industrial wastes such as wheat bran, husk, straw, peanut powder, pomace, corn cobs, rice sawdust and sugarcane bagasse for cost-effective production xylanase by Bacillus safensis XPS7 using one-variable-at-a-time approach. A number bacterial strains were isolated from different locations in cold desert region Hima...

Flourene and phenanthrene are organic compounds with high hydrophobicity and toxicity. Being recalcitrant in nature they are accumulating in the environment at an alarming concentration, posing serious threat to living beings. Thus in the present study, microorganisms were screened for their ability to degrade these contaminants at high concentrations in least period of time. Two out of fifteen...
