Introduction: The opportunistic fungus Candida albicans is a normal flora of human. Due to the increase in the number of immunocompromised patients, infections due to the Candida species have considerably increased in the resent years. Extracellular hydrolytic enzymes appear to play an essential role in candidal overgrowth. Dimorphism, adhesions, and the production of hydrolytic enzymes are sug...

Aspergillus niger is a soil saprobe and produces a wide array of hydrolytic and oxidative enzymes and cell wall degrading enzymes. An investigation on the various properties of partially purified polygalacturonase and cellulase enzymes extracted from tomato fruits deteriorated by Aspergillus niger was carried out in this study. The results obtained shows that temperature, pH and substrate conce...

Olive mill wastewaters and olive cake are effluents generated during oil production process. They represent a major disposal potentially severe pollution problem for the industry, also promising source of substances high value. The aim this study is valorization wastes (OMWW, cake, twigs leaves) to produce enzymes with industrial biotechnological potential, by solid-state fermentation technique ...

Proteases are a varied and ancient family of enzymes that play part in every aspect an organism's functioning. As member the hydrolytic enzyme family, they help break down proteins into smaller peptides amino acids. carry out nucleophilic attack on carbonyl carbon scissile bond to facilitate addition water. Because wide range variances their characteristics, such as substrate selectivity, activ...

chitin is one of the most important compounds of true fungi cell wall. this compound is used greatly in structural of nematodes egg shell including meloidogyne javanica. after chitin dissection by chitinase enzyme, convert to its sub units n-acetyl glucosamine. species of trichoderama genus due to high levels production of many hydrolytic enzymes including chitinase, protease and b-1,3-glucanas...

(a) HA; (b) hydrolytic product of testicular, lysosomal or venom HYASE; (c) hydrolytic product of leech HYASE; (d) hydrolytic product of bacterial HYASE. sensitivity and the production of interfering precipitates, the Morgan-Elson assay cannot be used for kinetic investigation of the enzyme. Furthermore this assay is prone to interference from compounds such as disodium cromoglycate, (+ )-catec...

Microbial communities in hot springs at high elevations have been extensively studied worldwide. In this sense, the Indian Himalaya regions is valuable ecosystems for providing both the extreme 'cold' and 'hot' sites for exploring microbial diversity. In the present study, a total of 140 thermophilic bacteria were isolated from 12 samples collected from Manikaran and Yumthang hot springs of Ind...

The microbially derived polyhydroxyalkanoates biopolymers could impact the global climate scenario by replacing the conventional non-degradable, petrochemical-based polymer. The biogenesis, characterization and properties of PHAs by Bacillus species using renewable substrates have been elaborated by many for their wide applications. On the other hand Bacillus species are advantageous over other...

Candida albicans is a dimorphic opportunistic pathogenic yeast that is commonly isolated from different anatomical sites and clinical samples. It possesses several virulence factors, including secretion of hydrolytic enzymes, the ability to adhere to abiotic surfaces and cells, and the ability to penetrate tissues. We determined the level of in vitro expression of virulence factors by South Afr...
