Bioprospecting metagenomics of decaying wood: mining for new glycoside hydrolases
BACKGROUND To efficiently deconstruct recalcitrant plant biomass to fermentable sugars in industrial processes, biocatalysts of higher performance and lower cost are required. The genetic diversity found in the metagenomes of natural microbial biomass decay communities may harbor such enzymes. Our goal was to discover and characterize new glycoside hydrolases (GHases) from microbial biomass dec...
متن کاملBioprospecting Sponge-Associated Microbes for Antimicrobial Compounds.
Sponges are the most prolific marine organisms with respect to their arsenal of bioactive compounds including antimicrobials. However, the majority of these substances are probably not produced by the sponge itself, but rather by bacteria or fungi that are associated with their host. This review for the first time provides a comprehensive overview of antimicrobial compounds that are known to be...
متن کاملBioprospecting of Neem for Antimicrobial Activity against Soil Microbes
The Present studies was carried to evaluate the antimicrobial activity against soil microbes which causes corrosion on buried metal in acidic mediated soil by agar well diffusion using aqueous and ethanol extract of Neem leaves. These plants were subjected to solvent extraction with water and ethanol on increasing the polarity to identify and isolate the antimicrobial active materials. Crude aq...
متن کاملFast antimicrobial screen test (FAST): improved screen test for detecting antimicrobial residues in meat tissue.
The Fast Antimicrobial Screen Test (FAST) is a simple and quick screening test developed to detect antibiotic and sulfonamide residues in food animal carcasses in slaughter establishments. This microbial inhibition test detects antimicrobials that are allowed to be used in food animals. It has the ability to detect these antimicrobials at or above the allowable limit in carcass kidney fluids in...
متن کاملBioprospecting of Lactic Acid Bacteria for Potentiality as Probiotics
Lactic acid bacteria have been used for many years as natural bio preservatives in fermented foods and are also believed to have beneficial health effects on the host. However selection of strain is an important criteria which is mainly based on evaluating the physiological properties of the strain. In this study, lactic acid bacteria were isolated from various dairy, non-dairy and human source...
