The ability of Ganoderma to produce extracellular enzymes, including β-glucosidase, cellulase, avicelase, pectinase, xylanase, protease, amylase, and ligninase was tested in chromogenic media. β-glucosidase showed the highest activity, among the eight tested enzymes. In particular, Ganoderma neo-japonicum showed significantly stronger activity for β-glucosidase than that of the other enzymes. T...

Enzymes have important features that may facilitate their application in industrial processes and have been used as alternatives to chemical catalysts. In particular, proteases can be isolated from microorganisms, which provide important sources of advantageous enzymes for industrial processes. For example, Eupenicillium javanicum is a filamentous fungus that has been shown to express industria...

Potential of fungi isolated from a mangrove ecosystem in Northern Sulawesi, Indonesia: Protease, cellulase and anti-microbial capabilities. Biodiversitas 22: 1717- 1724. The high relatively unexplored diversity present the represents source novel biotechnological importance. ...

Soil enzymes are involved in the process of mineralization soil organic matters. The close-to-nature transformation (CNT) plantations changes enzyme activities by changing composition stand vegetation, which turn affects change carbon. We therefore selected two typical coniferous southwest China, Pinus massoniana and Cunninghamia lanceolate, to explore effects CNT on carbon, relationship betwee...

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...

Proteases, one among the three largest groups of industrial enzymes, accounts for about 60% of the total worldwide sale of enzymes from biological sources since they possess almost all characteristics desired for their biotechnological applications (Adinarayana et al., 2003). Among the various proteases, bacterial protease was the most significant compared with animal, fungi and plant protease....

Proteases are catabolic enzymes that catalyze the complete hydrolysis of protein. They constitute one of the most important groups of industrial enzymes, accounting for nearly 60% of the total worldwide enzyme sale1. Keratinolytic protease is a specific protease that has immense commercial importance. It acts on keratin of the hides thus can be used in dehairing2. This enzyme along with proteas...

The capability of the plant pathogenic fungus Myrothecium verrucaria to produce extracellular hydrolytic enzymes in submerged cultures was studied using several substrates. The fungus was able to produce different depolymerases and glycosidases, being xylanase, pectinase and protease the most important. Lipase was found in cultures developed in the presence of olive oil, while protease activity...
