Economic development increases and brings about issues such as the secure supply of food in a sustainable way. Phytases are enzymes catalyzing phytate hydrolysis to release phosphorus an inorganic form. Animal feeds could be supplemented with bacterial phytases increase their micronutrients bioavailability. To best our knowledge, this is first report on purification characterization alkalophilic phytase from Cobetia marina. The purified newly isolated halophilic marina strain 439 appears...
Biodegradation is an advanced method for reducing plastic waste in the environment, involving participation of microbial communities with plastic-degrading properties. Our study presents a novel halophilic community isolated from plastic-contaminated region Burgas Lake, Bulgaria. In medium containing 15% sodium chloride, can degrade significant amount polycaprolactone (PCL) as sole carbon source, well plastics polystyrene (PS) and polypropylene (PP), albeit to lesser extent. The showed high...
The interest in microbial pectinases is increasing due to their use the biotechnological and food industries response global demand. In this study, among 22 halophilic bacterial strains screened, 20 showed pectinase activity. highest activity was measured for Virgibacillus salarius strain 434. As production meets many parameter optimization constraints, optimal conditions maximizing yield of synthesized using investigated were followed. Enzyme purification accomplished at up 11.5-fold via...
Bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are designated as endotoxins, because they cause fever and a wide range of pathologies in humans. It is important to develop effective methodologies detect trace quantities LPS aqueous systems. The present study develops fine-tuning procedure for the entrapment from
