Abstract Puccinia triticina ( Pt ) is an important pathogen of wheat. While breeding programmes develop resistant wheat cultivars to mitigate the effects such rust-causing pathogens, emergence new rust races with wider virulence mandates implementation other control strategies. Our study investigated whether acidic pH conditions affected selected Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes (CAZymes) in Pt- ino...

The cenC gene, encoding beta-1,4-glucanase C (CenC) from Cellulomonas fimi, was overexpressed in Escherichia coli with a tac-based expression vector. The resulting polypeptide, with an apparent molecular mass of 130 kDa, was purified from the cell extracts by affinity chromatography on cellulose followed by anion-exchange chromatography. N-terminal sequence analysis showed the enzyme to be prop...

Due to increase in demand for energy as a result of human population explosion, industrialization and environmental hazards posed by fossil fuels, there is need source alternative sources that are cheaper friendly. Three different lignocellulosic biomasses were studied their suitability bioethanol production. Fungi yeasts isolated using serial dilution spread plate methods. Identification both ...
