Studies on the Halophilic Chitinoclastic Bacteria

Studies on Keratinolytic Activity of Alkaline Proteases from Halophilic Bacteria

Alkaline proteases producing halophilic bacteria isolated from Sambar Lake, Rajasthan were investigated for keratinolytic activity. The aim of this study was to optimize culture conditions for maximum enzyme production as well as characterization of proteases with keratinolytic action. Casein was used as sole carbon and nitrogen source for alkaline protease production at 37°C and 150 rpm. Highe...

Base Sequence Homology and Renaturation Studies of the Deoxyribonucleic Acid of Extremely Halophilic Bacteria RICHARD

sequence is similar for the major and minor DNA components. Parallel experiments with ribosomal RNA revealed a relationship between the extremely halophilic rods and cocci and a more distant relationship to moderate halophiles and to a photosynthetic extreme halophile. Renaturation studies of halophile DNA exclude the possibility that the satellite DNA represents multiple copies of a small epis...
