A defined mixed culture, consisting of an Arthrobacter sp. and a Micrococcus sp. and able to grow with 4-chloroacetophenone as a sole source of carbon and energy, was isolated. 4-Chlorophenyl acetate, 4-chlorophenol, and 4-chlorocatechol were identified as metabolites through comparison of retention times and UV spectra with those of standard substances. The proposed pathway was further confirm...

Marine bacterial exopolysaccharides are fascinating industrial uses and presence of bioactive compounds. In this present study , Exopolysaccharide producing Micrococcus sp isolated from Arabian Sea and was identified by morphological and biochemical characteristics. Exopolysaccharide characterized by Infra Red spectroscopy and Antibacterial activity done by disc diffusion method with the clinic...
