phosphorus is one of the most important nutrients for plant growth and development. chemical pi fertilizer is used to provide the phosphorus for the plants, but it is mostly fixed in the soil into insoluble form and become unavailable to the plants. phosphate-solubilizing bacteria have lots of application in agriculture as biological fertilizer. consumption of biofertilizers instead of chemical...

kinetics of bacterial growth and protease production were monitored on a novel isolated moderately halophilic bacterium, salinivibrio sp. strain ms-7, and maximum growth and protease activity was achieved after 48 hours at 30°c and 180 rpm. to determine the effect of various carbon sources on protease production, glucose, lactose, sucrose and maltose were investigated and  maximum production of...

A potent fibrinolytic enzyme-producing Bacillus cereus IND1 was isolated from the Indian food, rice. Solid-state fermentation was carried out using agroresidues for the production of fibrinolytic enzyme. Among the substrates, wheat bran supported more enzyme production and has been used for the optimized enzyme production by statistical approach. Two-level full-factorial design demonstrated tha...

In this work, the production of fungal laccase was optimized from local isolate of Pleurotus ostreatus using solid state fermentation. Factorial design was used to study the effect of several nutrients on enzyme production. Purification and characterization of the enzyme and the effect of temperature, pH and gamma radiation on fungal growth and enzyme production was investigated. Optimization o...
