With the use of the cytochemical stain for horseradish peroxidase of Graham and Karnovsky (1966. J. Histochem. Cytochem.14:291), conjugates of horseradish peroxidase with ricin, wheat germ agglutinin, and phytohemagglutinin were employed for the morphologic demonstration of d-galactose (ricin), N-acetylglucosamine (wheat germ), and N-acetylgalactosamine (phytohemagglutinin) containing moieties ...

The goal of this work was to study the bioleaching arsenic-containing polymetallic concentrate that contained 6.2% Cu, 7.3% Zn and 1.7% As, depending on different temperatures in presence CO2 molasses medium, as well difference composition microbial population formed under various conditions. A mixed moderately thermophilic thermotolerant acidophilic microorganisms during continuous copper used...

A new species of Bacillus licheniformis produced extracellular xylanase under submerged fermentation when wheat bran is used as carbon source. The xylan is the most common hemicellulosic polysaccharide in food industry and agricultural wastes, comprising a backbone of xylose residues linked by β-1,4 glycosidic bonds. Bacillus licheniformis has been shown to be a promising organism for enhanced ...

BACKGROUND During the past few years, the first industrial-scale cellulosic ethanol plants have been inaugurated. Although the performance of the commercial cellulase enzymes used in this process has greatly improved over the past decade, cellulases still represent a very significant operational cost. Depending on the region, transport of cellulases from a central production facility to a biore...

An alkaliphilic and salttolerant actinomycete, Streptomyces clavuligerus strain Mit-1, was isolated from Mithapur, the western coast of India. The organism was Gram-positive, having filamentous, long thread like structure. The sporulation started after two days of growth and the optimum level of alkaline protease (130 U/ ml) was produced during the early stationary phase. The strain could grow ...

In this research, a new cost-effective carbon source of medium was provided in terms high-efficiency growth from Arthrospira maxima. Sugarcane molasses used two different modes (alternative and additive) at four concentrations (0, 0.5, 1.0 1.5 gL-1) to determine the effect versus its standard Zarrouk’s (NaHCO3). The experimental results were analyzed by Taguchi L8 method as statistical techniqu...

Amylase is an industrially important enzyme and applied in many industrial processes such as saccharification of starchy materials, food, pharmaceutical, detergent, and textile industries. This research work deals with the optimization of fermentation conditions for α-amylase production from thermophilic bacterial strain Bacillus sp. BCC 01-50 and characterization of crude amylase. The time pro...

An indigenous locally isolated white rot fungal strain Phanerochaete chrysosporium IBL-03 was investigated for the hyper-production of ligninolytic enzymes from different agro-industrial wastes including wheat straw, rice straw, banana stalks, corncobs, corn stover, and sugarcane bagasse as substrate material in still culture fermentation technique. Screening experiments were performed at 30C f...
