Microplate Diffusion Assay for Screening of β-Glucanase-Producing Microorganisms
A method is described to screen fungal strains rapidly for overexpression of extracellular β-1,4-endoglucanase in the presence of high levels of sugar compounds. The semi-quantitative assay utilizes microplates in a 96-well format and an azurine dye covalently cross-linked (AZCL) chromogenic substrate. The digestion of AZCL-hydroxyethyl-β-1,4-endoglucanase results in the release of a blue dye d...
متن کاملScreening concepts for the isolation of biosurfactant producing microorganisms.
This chapter gives an overview of current methods for the isolation of biosurfactant producing microbes. The common screening methods for biosurfactants are presented. Sampling and isolation of bacteria are the basis for screening of biosurfactant producing microbes. Hydrocarbon-contaminated sites are the most promising for the isolation of biosurfactant producing microbes, but many strains hav...
متن کاملA Rapid Screening Method for Cutinase Producing Microorganisms
Both cutinase and lipase belong to the esterase group of enzymes (EC 3.1.1.X), which are capable of catalyzing the hydrolysis of ester bonds. Cutinase catalyzes the hydrolysis of cutin, an insoluble biopolyester which is the structural component of plant cuticles. As cutinase is an efficient catalyst in watery or organic media, it is potentially appropriate for the detergent, food and cosmetic ...
متن کاملMolecular Diagnostic for Prospecting Polyhydroxyalkanoate-Producing Bacteria
The use of molecular diagnostic techniques for bioprospecting and microbial diversity study purposes has gained more attention thanks to their functionality, low cost and quick results. In this context, ten degenerate primers were designed for the amplification of polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase (phaC) gene, which is involved in the production of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA)-a biodegradable, renewa...
متن کاملIsolation of a thermotolerant bacterium producing medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoate.
AIMS The aim of this study was to isolate a thermotolerant micro-organism that produces polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) composed of medium-chain-length (mcl) HA units from a biodiesel fuel (BDF) by-product as a carbon source. METHODS AND RESULTS We successfully isolated a thermotolerant micro-organism, strain SG4502, capable to accumulate mcl-PHA from a BDF by-product as a carbon source at a cul...
