Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIsolation of Amylolytic Bacteria from Viscera of Labeo rohita (Ham.) and Optimization of Alpha Amylase ExtractionDebabrat Baishya, Hridip Kumar SarmaProblem statement: Fish is largely consumed in the north-eastern part of India resulting in the generation of huge amount of fish viscera in the market places. These waste generated is not properly managed for disposal. Under such circumstances it is necessary to properly utilize this waste regenerating the possibility of environment friendly disposal. Besides, industrially and commercially useful biological products … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 May 2011 · 8,051 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsVariations in Four Genotypes of Lentil under NaCl-Salinity StressM. Sidari, C. Santonoceto, U. Anastasi et al.Four lentil cultivars, Eston (E), Rossa of Castelluccio (RC), Pantelleria (P) and Ustica (U) differing in salt sensitivity, were examined for osmolyte contents and activities of α-amylase, β-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes involved in seed germination, in absence as well as in presence of 50, 100, 150 and 200 mM NaCl. The inhibitory effects of NaCl differed, depending on the genotypes … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,702 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEfficient Anaerobic Fermentation of Simple Sugars by Yeast Fuels Resistance Candida spp. Infections to Eradication by DrugsNedosa Ikenna Valentine, Utoh-Nedosa Uchechukwu Anastasia, Dan Danjuma et al.Problem statement: Human systemic Candida infections had proved difficult to eradicate by the medical health care system. Some practitioners and scholars see the problem as being due to drug resistance. For example an author wrote that ‘secondary drug resistance is clearly being encountered in one setting, oropharyngeal candidiasis in patients with advanced Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection usually … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 10 Dec 2011 · 7,836 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerspectives of Solid State Fermentation for Production of Food EnzymesCristobal Noe Aguilar, Gerardo Gutiérrez-Sánchez, PLilia A. rado-Barragán et al.Food industry represents one of the economic sectors where microbial metabolites have found a wide variety of applications. This is the case of some enzymes, such as amylases, cellulases, pectinases and proteases which have played a very important role as food additives. Most of these enzymes have been produced by submerged cultures at industrial level. Many works in the literature … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 10,654 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Thermostable α-Amylase Producing Natural Variant of Bacillus spp. Isolated From Soil in IranIraj Rasooli, Shakiba D. A. Astaneh, Hojjat Borna, Kamal A. BarchiniThermophilic processes appear more stable, rapid and less expensive and facilitate reactant activity and product recovery. Amylases have a quarter of the world enzyme market and thermostable a-amylases possess extensive commercial applications. Since little work has been done on strain isolation, growth and enzyme yield optimization, the level of thermophilic enzyme production remains relatively low. Therefore, large scale exploitation of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 8,902 accessesView PDF Cite
