Honeybees are eusocial insects with close interaction their surrounding environment. Gut microbiota in honeybees play a significant role host health, biology, and behavior the Apis florea , wild bee, is most primitive among all indigenous to Indian subcontinent. Previous reports on reared honeybee species provide information gut microbiome. No such studies reported of species. This study aimed at studying microbiome species, A. . The analysis identification bacteria employing culture-based...
Pectinases are enzymes that hydrolyze pectin or pectic compounds. Microorganisms in the gut of bees involved breakdown these macromolecules. In this study, we aimed to optimize physicochemical parameters for enhancing enzyme pectinase production by bacteria Klebsiella oxytoca af-G4 isolated from Apis florea gut; addition, purification and characterization purified were carried out. Optimization growth conditions using different synthetic agro-industrial wastes performed. Purification...
Introduction and Aim:Immobilization of enzyme on silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is one way to improve their stability activity can be reused for large-scaleapplications. The present study was aimed evaluateand characterizethetrypsin immobilized biogenicallysynthesized nanoparticles.Materials and
 Methods: Immobilization trypsin optimized with time varying concentration nanoparticles, which were greensynthesized using avocado seedextracts. residual after immobilization estimated....
Introduction and Aim: Apis florea commonly known as “dwarf honey bee” harbors enormous gut bacteria that can digest complex carbohydrates other food components. In this regard, the present investigation was focused on analyzing polysaccharide degrading ability of isolated from honeybee, for their possible application in nutraceutical pharmaceutical industries. Materials Methods: Nine bacterial isolates were screened carbohydrate enzymes viz., amylase, pectinase, cellulase, tannase laccase,...
