The habitat of endophytic bacteria in plant tissues making it automatically used by plants to protect themselves against pathogenic bacteria. Endophytic have been applied various fields, including agriculture, pharmacy, medicine, and biotechnology. This review was carried out summarize recent studies focusing on the diversity derived from traditional medicinal which antibacterial activity extra...

A largely defined series of hydrolytic enzymes active during malting and/or mashing, substantially determine the quality, profitability, and efficiency brewing process. These potentially hydrolyze starch, proteins cell wall non-starch polysaccharides including β-glucan arabinoxylan. Commercial malts (94) were assayed for DP (limit dextrinase, beta/α-amylase), NSP hydrolyzing (β-glucanase, xylan...

Growing population, together with unpredictable climatic changes and dwindling fertile land, has forced to explore the alternate underutilized flora from the rich biome. There is a great opportunity for economic growth in agriculture system by introducing underutilized commodity in market place. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to elucidate the nutritional potential of an important u...

Changes in cold hardiness, carbohydrate content and β-amylase gene expression were monitored in the shoots of the highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) cultivars 'Sharpblue' and 'Jersey' during cold acclimation (CA) and deacclimation (DA). The seasonal patterns were similar in both cultivars, but the levels of cold hardiness determined by electrolyte leakage analysis were significantly d...

Authentic soybean β-amylase preparation, purified to homogeneity as judged by SDS-PAGE by using an affinity purification step, was composed of four pI-differing isoforms. By chromatofocusing, these isoforms were separated into three fractions, designated as fractions 1-3 in the order of elution. Fraction 1 contained two isoforms having the same molecular mass (55,989 Da), as measured by mass sp...
