Isolation and identification of a new fungal strain for amylase biosynthesis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fungi are well known for their ability to excrete enzymes into the environment. The fungal isolate FSS60 was the best amylase producer among one hundred and thirty-six isolates obtained from Syrian soils and tested for amylase production. According to the sequence of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA gene, the isolate was identified as Aspergillus flavus. Optimal initial pH for amylase production was found to be 9.0. The enzyme was optimally active at 50 degrees C and pH 5.0.

Isolation and screening of antibacterial and enzyme producing marine actinobacteria to approach probiotics against some pathogenic vibrios in shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei
The application of new probiotics is a good strategy in the biological control of infectious diseases in aquaculture. Approximately 100 marine actinobacteria isolates were obtained from 10 sediment samples of shrimp farms. Heat treatment of sediment samples resulted in a selective reduction of the non actinobacterial heterotrophic microflora. Starch nitrate agar medium exhibited more efficacy t...

متن کاملHalotolerant Ability and α-Amylase Activity of Some Saltwater Fungal Isolates
Four halotolerant fungal isolates originating from the saltwater Lake Urmia in Iran were selected during a screening program for salt resistance and α-amylase activity. The isolates were identified based on sequencing the ITS region and a part of the β-tubulin gene, as Penicillium chrysogenum (isolate U1; CBS 132820), Fusarium incarnatum (isolate U2; CBS 132821), and Penicillium polonicum (isol...
