Abstract
28Feb 2017 ENZYME ACTIVITY PROFILING OF EXO -β-1,4- GLUCANASE, ENDO-β-1,3- GLUCANASE AND PROTEASE IN STREPTOMYCES SPECIES FROM HIGHLAND, MIDLAND AND LOWLAND AREAS OF KERALA, INDIA. Lekshmi K. Edison , Reshma R. Anilkumar , Gayathri V. and Pradeep N. S. Division of Microbiology, Jawaharlal Nehru Tropical Botanical Garden and Research Institute, Palode, Thiruvananthapuram, 695562 Kerala, India. Department of Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering, SCT College of Engineering, Thiruvananthapuram, 695518 Kerala, India.
Highlights
Number of Streptomyces isolates revealed a decreasing trend from highland to lowland areas. pH, electrical conductivity (EC), soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil organic matter (SOM) were showed a significant correlation with the number of Streptomyces isolates
The variation of exo-β-1,4-glucanase activity from highland to lowland suggested the sensitivity of the enzyme as an ecological and a soil quality indicator, it can be used as a conspicuous indicator of environmental changes
Number of Streptomyces Isolates:Morphologically different 95 Streptomyces strains were isolated from 21 locations of three different land areas viz. highland, midland and low land
