background: enzymatic hydrolysis of lactose is one of the most important biotechnological processes in the food industry, which is accomplished by enzyme β-galactosidase (β-gal, β-d-galactoside galactohydrolase, ec 3.2.1.23), trivial called lactase. orthogonal arrays design is an appropriate option for the optimization of biotechnological processes for the production of microbial enzymes. metho...

Background and Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the optimum conditions for extracting and purifying penicillinase enzyme. The enzyme source was Bacillus licheniformis 6346 obtained from the Iranian Research Organization for Science and Technology. Materials and Methods: B. licheniformis was cultured in a medium containing mineral salts, nitrogen compounds, and cultured carbon sou...

fermentation is an important process for black tea production. during this process, by exposure of substrate to enzymes and the underlying oxidation reactions, quality determining factors of tea is produced. it is known that the exogenous application of cell-wall degrading enzymes leads to the increased production of these compounds through enhancement of enzyme-substrate interactions. pectinas...

the present study was carried out to investigate the effects of different levels of canola meal eithr with or without phytase addition on laying hen's performance. a number of 288 layer hens (the strains of hy-line w36) at the 60th week of age, selected as based on the same egg production percentage and body weight were, assigned to a factorial arrangement with a completely randomized desi...

Owing to their superior catalytic activity in the extreme conditions, extremozymes have found the potential biotechnological applications for industrial purposes. A robust extracellular protease activity was detected in the culture broth of Salicola marasensis, an extreme halophilic bacterium, after a 48 h-incubation. The effect of different media ingredients in a liquid state fermentation was ...

The production of protease by Bacillus licheniformis BBRC 100053 was studied. The most appropriate medium for the growth and protease production is composed of: lactose 1%, yeast extract 0.5%, peptone 0.5%, KH2PO4 0.1%, MgSO4.7H2O 0.02%. Enzyme production corresponded with growth and reached a maximums level (589 U/ml) during the stationary phase at 35°C, pH equivalent to 10 and with 150 rpm af...

Alkaline phosphatase (ortho phosphate, monoester hydrolase phosphoinositide E. C. 3.1.3.1) is a non-specific metalloproteinase enzyme that is located inside periplasmic space of bacteria. This enzyme is used to measure freshwater sediment in genetic engineering for cleaning water. Isolation and molecular identification of the bacteria producing alkaline phosphatase and comparison of its product...
