Chitosan is an aboundant biopolymer like cellose. To bioprocess them with chitin deacetylase (CDA), the products will be used in medicine and food industry. [In order to get new strains with significant ability of (CDA) Twenty eight strains producing CDA were isolated and screened out from the soil samples by color reaction in plate medium. The strain F2-7-3 was screened out from these strains for the highest CDA activity, which can reach more than 250U/mL. The paranitroacetanilide was used as the substrate, the optimum temperature for enzyme activity was determined to be 50°C and the optimum pH was 7.0. It was studied by method of morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics and 16S rDNA analysis. Data shows that the strain was Rhodococcus sp.

Oligosaccharides have important alimental and medical applications. Dextranase has been used to produce isomalto-oligosaccharides (IMOs). In this study, we isolated dextranase-producing bacteria from sugarcane-cultivated soil. Identification of the isolate based on its phenotypical, physiological, and biochemical characteristics, as well as 16S ribosomal deoxyribonucleic acid gene sequencing yielded Shewanella sp. strain GZ-7. The molecular weight of the dextranase produced by this strain was 100-135 kDa. The optimum temperature and pH for dextranase production were 40 °C and 7.5, respectively. The enzyme was found to be stable at the pH range of 6.0-8.0 and the temperature range of 20 °C-40 °C. Thin-layer chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography of the enzymolysis products of the substrate confirmed the enzyme to be endodextranase. Under the optimal conditions, the ratio of IMOs could reach 91.8% of the hydrolyzate. The final products were found to efficiently scavenge the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, hydroxyl, and superoxide anion radicals. In general, dextranase and hydrolyzates have high potential prospects for application in the future.

A salt-tolerant PCBs degrading strain B2.6 which can use PCBs as the sole carbon source and energy was isolated from the deep sea sediments of southern Yellow Sea. It was identified as Vibrio splendidus, according to morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics and 16SrDNA sequence analysis. The experimental results suggested that the optimum conditions for the degradation of PCBs are temperature 30°C, pH 7 to 8, the concentration of NaCl was 150g•L-1. Under the optimum conditions, the PCBs degradation could reach 98.27% in 72h which concentration was below 0.6mg•L-1. The genome was amplified with bacterium 16SrDNA primer. The amplified product was purified and sequenced forphylogenetic analyses with Genbank. The bacterium B2.6 was identified as Vibrio splendidus. RAPD analyses of B2.6 produced stable DNA fingerprint. These studies have provided parameter for the further dynamic resolution of bacterium clusters for the rehabilitation of PCBs contaminated underground water environment with B2.6 PRB method.

Polyethylene (PE) is one of the most abundant commercially produced synthetic polymers which have leaded the seriously solid pollution. A Gram positive rod form bacterium T6 has been isolated from the guts of Indian meal moth Plodia interpunctella (Hübner). According to the phenotypic, Physiological and biochemical characteristics, and 16S rRNA gene sequence, T6 is identified as Baccillus megaterium. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) reveals the polyethylene can be degraded significantly by T6 from the LDPE surface. The tensile strength of the LDPE films which is degraded by T6 strain, displays decreasing tendency as the incubation time increase. After 28 days’ incubation, the tensile strength decreases 5.8% and the maximum decrement reaches 18.4%. The difference between the tensile strength value of day 21 and day 28 are not significant (P <0.05). The results indicate T6 strain can degraded the LDPE film.

A novel actinobacterium, designated YIM 65623T, was isolated from a surface-sterilized stem of Artemisia annua L. Strain YIM 65623T had morphological, biochemical, physiological and chemotaxonomic properties that were consistent with its classification in the genus Nocardia. Growth occurred with 0–7 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum 0–3 %), at pH 5.0–9.0 (optimum pH 6.0) and at 10–37 °C (optimum 20–28 °C). Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that strain YIM 65623T constituted a distinct sublineage within the genus Nocardia and displayed 94.1–98.2 % sequence similarity to members of established species in the genus Nocardia. However, DNA–DNA relatedness and physiological and biochemical characteristics showed that strain YIM 65623T could be differentiated from its closest phylogenetic relatives. The G+C content of the genomic DNA was 69.6 mol%. It is proposed that strain YIM 65623T be classified as a representative of a novel species, Nocardia artemisiae sp. nov. The type strain is YIM 65623T ( = DSM 45379T  = CCTCC AA 209038T).

A procedure was developed for isolation and identification of ribonuclease from buffalo milk whey. Ribonuclease was precipitated with (NH4)2SO4 between 65 and 90% saturation. The precipitate was dissolved, dialyzed, and fractionated on DEAE-cellulose. Two ribonuclease-rich fractions were collected, i.e. ribonuclease A and B. Ribonuclease A had an optimum pH of 7 .0, and ribonuclease B had an optimum pH of 8.6. Both had an optimum temperature at 38 C. The ribonucleases in the purified state were unstable to heat and their activity decreased as the time of exposure increased. Both enzyme fractions were sensitive to inhibitors. NaCl and NaN3 were stimulatory for ribonuclease A, while ribonuclease B was stimulated only by NaCl.

A novel strain, designated TP2-8T, was isolated from fermented fish (pla-ra) in Thailand. It stained Gram-positive and the cells were aerobic, endospore-forming rods. The strain grew at pH 6–8 (optimum pH 7), 15–55 °C (optimum 37 °C) and 1–22 % (w/v) NaCl (optimum 5–10 %). It contained meso-diaminopimelic in the cell-wall peptidoglycan. MK-7 and cellular fatty acids anteiso-C15 : 0, iso-C15 : 0 and anteiso-C17 : 0 were major components. Polar lipids diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidylglycerol and unidentified lipids were detected. The DNA G+C content was 37.6 mol%. Comparison of the 16S rRNA gene sequence of strain TP2-8T with those of other members of the family Bacillaceae indicated that it was a member of the genus Gracilibacillus (94.9–99.2 % sequence similarity) and was closely related to Gracilibacillus saliphilus YIM 91119T (99.2 % similarity), G. lacisalsi BH312T (98.6 %), G. orientalis XH-63T (97.7 %), ‘G. quinghaiensis’ YIM C229 (97.7 %) and G. boraciitolerans T-16XT (97.2 %).
