Extra cellular alkaline protease producing species is an isolate from soil which was characterized and identified as Streptomyces pulvereceus MTCC 8374. Studies on submerged fermentation revealed that maximum level of enzyme production was during early stationary phase. Optimum pH, inoculum and temperature were 9.0, 3 percent and 33 C respectively. Among carbon sources 0.3 peccent starch gave a...

in this study, modified starch was used as a fat replacer in the milk. the fat replacer was manufactured from modified starch such as pre-gelatinized and cross–linked starches. modified starches were manufactured by hydrochloric acid and citric acid treatments from potato and wheat and were added to skim milk at concentrations of 0.15%, 0.30% and 0.45%. viscosity, total solid, fat content, titr...

this paper, we describe the production, isolation and structural studies of these new inhibitors. The producing strain was isolated from a soil sample collected in Kisarazu City, Chiba Prefecture, Japan, and taxonomic studies indicated that the strain belonged to the genus Streptomyces. This strain was fermented in 500-ml Erlenmeyer flasks in 100 ml of medium (soluble starch 2.5%, glucose 1 %, ...

In the screening for actinomycetes with anticancer property, fifty two isolates were isolated using a starch casein agar medium from twenty marine sediment samples collected from the southeast coastal regions of India. Ten morphologically different isolates were selected and screened for cytotoxic active isolate by Brine shrimp lethality assay. One of the most potent isolate was selected for id...

Soil acts as a rich source of Actinomycetes, which are generally characterized potent antibiotic producers. The research rationale this study was to isolate and characterize potential Actinomycetes possessing properties from the soils Dharwad Karnataka, India. Further, isolates were using microscopic, biochemical molecular techniques. Initially, ten different isolated on starch casein agar medi...

Soybean meal (SBM) is an important protein source in animal feed. However, the levels of SBM inclusion are restricted in some animal species by the presence of antinutritional factors (ANFs), including non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs) and α-galactosides (GOSs). The aim of this study was to reduce the soybean meal NSPs and GOSs by solid-state fermentation (SSF) using a combination of cellulolyt...

In an extensive numerical phenetic survey, a numberof blue, red and gray spored streptomycete strainswere grouped together as Streptomyces cyaneusspecies-group, a taxon which encompasses strainsknown to produce antitumor antibiotics, notably anthracyclines.In the present investigation these and relatedstreptomycetes were the subject of morphological and...

Chitinase production by a terrestrial Streptomyces sp. ANU 6277 was studied under sub-merged fermentation. Chitinase production started after 24 h of incubation and reached maximum levels after 60 h of cultivation. A high level of chitinase activity was observed in the culture medium with pH 6 at 35°C. Culture medium amended with 1% chitin was found to be suitable for maximum production of chit...
