Screening of Alcohol Dehydrogenase and Amylase of Microorganisms
Twenty strains of bacteria and 10 strains of basidiomycetes cultured under aerobic conditions, and 3 strains of bacteria and 7 strains of yeasts cultured under anaerobic conditions demonstrated high alcohol dehydrogenase activity. Seven strains of bacteria and 4 strains of basidiomycetes cultured under aerobic conditions and 1 strain of yeast cultured under anaerobic conditions demonstrated high amylase activity
Screening of Fibrinolytic Enzymes of Microorganisms
Screening of fibrinolytic enzymes from bacteria, yeasts, molds and basidiomycetes was done. All bacteria except Serratia plymuthica IFO 3055 had fibrinolytic activity under aerobic or anaerobic culture conditions. Yeasts cultured under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions dissolved fibrin. All molds cultured under anaerobic conditions dissolved fibrin. On the other hand, fibrinolytic activity of Pleurotus sp. was higher in basidiomycetes
Screening of Amine Dehydrogenase of Microorganisms
Screening of amine dehydrogenase from bacteria, yeasts and molds was done. In this paper, we report on histamine dehydrogenase and benzylamine dehydrogenase. Screening of amine dehydrogenase was carried out following the replica method. Twenty-nine microorganisms were grown on histamine plates under aerobic conditions. Ten microorganisms were grown on histamine plates under anaerobic conditions. On the other hand, sixteen microorganisms and two microorganisms were grown on benzylamine plates under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, respectively. No molds were grown on benzylamine plates
Screening of Lactate Dehydrogenase and Curd Rennet of Microorganisms
Twenty strains of bacteria and 5 strains of basidiomycetes cultured under aerobic conditions and 9 strains of bacteria cultured under anaerobic conditions demonstrated high lactate dehydrogenase activity. One strain of basidiomycete cultured under aerobic conditions and 7 strains of yeasts cultured under anaerobic conditions demonstrated high curd rennet activity. The pHs cultured under aerobic and anaerobic conditions were between 6.1 and 7.1
