Abstract:

Phytase can improve the nutritional value of plant-based foods by enhancing protein digestibility and mineral availability through phytate digestion in the stomach and the food processing industry. Microbial sources are more promising for the production of phytases on a commercial scale. The objectives of this exploration were to screening and isolation of phytase-producing bacteria from hot spring with commercial interest. Molecular identification of the best isolate was achieved by the 16S rDNA gene. Optimization of phytase production was prepared in the presence of different phosphate, nitrogen, and carbon sources. Enzyme activity and stability were also explored in the presence of different pHs, temperatures, and ion compounds. Comparing the 16S rDNA gene sequence of the isolate LOR10 with those in GenBank using Clustal omega shows 98% sequence homology with Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. Medium optimization studies showed that galactose, yeast extract, and tricalcium phosphate were the best sources of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphate for phytase production, respectively. The optimum temperature activity was also observed to be 70 oC. Phytase stability was at its optimum in a pH range of 5.0–8.0. Phytase activity increased in the presence of CaCl2, ZnCl2, and MnSO4 about 1.4, 2.3 and 1.6 folds, respectively. It could be mentioned that phytase activity decreased by about 30 % in the presence of EDTA and SDS. On the basis of the results, it could be concluded that LOR10 phytase has a great potential for commercial interest as an additive to animal plant-based foods.

Production, Partial Purification and Biochemical Characterization of Thermostable Xylanase from Bacillus brevis

Additional to industrial use of xylanase in kraft pulp production, thermostable xylanase has wider application in fishery, piggery, cattle food and human food. In this research, 1-4-β-Dendoxylanase was isolated from liquid state cultures of Bacillus brevis containing wheat straw as carbon source. Xylanase was purified to apparent homogeneity by gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography. Th...

Isolation and characterization of a polynucleotide phosphorylase from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens.

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens BaM-2 produces large amounts of extracellular enzymes, and the synthesis of these proteins appears to be dependent upon abnormal ribonucleic acid metabolism. A polynucleotide phosphorylase (nucleoside diphosphate:polynucleotide nucleotidyl transferase) was identified, purified, and characterized from this strain. The purification scheme involved cell disruption, phase...

Isolation, Biochemical Characterization and Production of Biofertilizer from Bacillus megaterium

The isolation of phosphate solubilizing bacterial strains exhibiting high ability to solubilize soil phosphorus is a matter of great interest with high applicability. The use of phosphate solubilizing bacteria as inoculants simultaneously increases phosphate uptake by the plant and increase crop yield. Strains from the genera Pseudomonas, Bacillus and Rhizobium species are among the most powerf...

Purification and biochemical properties of a thermostable, haloalkaline cellulase from Bacillus licheniformis AMF-07 and its application for hydrolysis of different cellulosic substrates to bioethanol production

A thermophilic strain AMF-07, hydrolyzing carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) was isolated from Kerman hot spring and was identified as Bacillus licheniformis based on 16S rRNA sequence homology. The carboxymethylcellulase (CMCase) enzyme produced by the B. licheniformis was purified by (NH4)2SO4 precipitation, ion exchange and gel filtration chromatography. The purified enzyme gave a single band on S...

A statistical approach for the production of thermostable and alklophilic alpha-amylase from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens KCP2 under solid-state fermentation

The bacterial strain producing thermostable, alklophilic alpha-amylase was identified as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens KCP2 using 16S rDNA gene sequencing data (NCBI Accession No: KF112071). Medium components were optimized through the statistical approach for the synthesis of alpha-amylase by the organism under solid-state fermentation using wheat bran as the substrate. The medium components infl...
