Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Review: Biodegradation and Applications of Keratin Degrading Microorganisms and Keratinolytic Enzymes, Focusing on Thermophiles and Thermostable Serine ProteasesWirojne Kanoksilapatham, Weeranut IntagunKeratins are hard-degrading fibrous proteins, insoluble in water and organic solvents, often accumulated in nature and major components in feathers, skins, hair, horn, nail, hoof etc., Keratin-degrading microorganisms such as bacteria, archaea, actinomycetes and fungi employ keratinases to attack keratin. Keratinases belonging to subtilisin-like serine proteases were classified based on similarity of amino acid sequences. Keratinolytic thermophilic or hyperthermophilic bacteria … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 11 · 10 Nov 2017 · 9,981 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnti-Oxidant and Enzyme-Inhibitory Potential of Marine StreptomycesT. Revathy, M. A. Jayasri, K. SuthindhiranMarine actinomycetes are potential source for the discovery of novel compounds and enzymes. Though extensive research on marine actinomycetes is underway globally, the actinomycetes research from Indian marine ecosystem is unexplored and understudied. Hence, the present research is focussed on the screening of bioactive compounds from marine actinomycetes isolated from Indian coastal region. This study is designed to determine the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 21 Sep 2013 · 7,239 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Inhibitory Substances on Microbiospora Isolated from Soil under Cultivation of Curcuma Longa L.A. P. Kamble, Prakash Thorat, S. W. KulkarniProblem statement: Soil Pollution is major problem because different types of pesticides are used to control plant pest. The residual component of pesticide diffuses into the soil. It is necessary to check whether actinomycetes degrade these components and control the soil pollution. Approach: In Ayurved system of medicine the rhizome portion of Curcuma longa L. was used as an anti-inflammatory … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 16 Mar 2012 · 7,819 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSugar Utilization Potential of Micropolyspora Isolated from Extreme EnvironmentA. B. Koli, Prakash Thorat, S. W. KulkarniProblem statement: Waste water of various industries contain large amount of organic compounds which are continuously added in sea via river which causes water pollution. There is need to degrade the organic content to abate water pollution. Approach: To stabilize the organic content in sea water, there was need to search such an organism which was efficient to degrade organic … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 16 Mar 2012 · 7,259 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrobial Activities as Affected by Peat Dryness and AmeliorantEdi Husen, Fahmuddin AgusProblem statement: Acceleration of microbial activities and thus of CO2 emission in drained peat soils used for agriculture, is of the main environmental concern. The objectives of this study were to (i) examine microbial activities in peat samples treated with different levels of water contents and ameliorants and (ii) evaluate the relative contribution of microbial groups to peat respiration. Approach: … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 29 Sep 2011 · 7,546 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvolution of Microbial Biomasses C and N during the Composting of Municipal solid WastesOlfa Fourti, Naceur Jedidi, Abdennaceur HassenProblem statement: The aim of this study was mainly focused on the evolution of microbial biomasses C and N during the composting of municipal solid wastes. Approach: The carbon and the nitrogen of the microbial biomass (BC and BN) were studied using the fumigation-extraction method. Results: The dynamics of the BC/BN ratio, index of the chemical composition of the whole … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 28 Feb 2011 · 6,702 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Morphological, Biochemical and Biological Studies of Halophilic Streptomyces sp. Isolated from Saltpan EnvironmentDeepika T. Lakshmipathy, Krishnan KannabiranProblem statement: Dermatophytes have developed resistance to the existing antifungal antibiotics. As a part of our continuous search we had isolated, identified and characterized actinomycetes from the halophilic environment having antagonistic activity against the dermatophytes namely Trichophyton, Microsporum and Epidermophyton. Approach: Actinomycetes were isolated from the soil sample collected from the Ennore saltpan region, Chennai, India and screened for antidermatophytic … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,735 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBiocontrol of Botrytis allii Munn the Causal Agent of Neck Rot, the Post Harvest Disease in Onion, by use of a New Iranian Isolate of StreptomycesM. Jorjandi, G.H. Shahidi Bonjar, A. Baghizadeh et al.Problem statement: Soil actinomycetes particularly Streptomyces spp. have showed antagonistic activity against wide range of plant pathogens. In the recent decades they have attracted high interests as biocontrol agents. Onion neck rot or gray mold caused by Botrytis allii have imposed economic post harvest damages to onion bulbs and decreased its storage durability and market value. Approach: To investigate for … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2009 · 9,935 accessesView PDFCite
