Two isoenzymes of endo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) from Scopulariopsis sp. were purified by a combination of ammonium sulfate precipitation, hydrophobic interaction, and anion-exchange and gel… (More)
We report the isolation of nitrogen fixing, phytohormone producing bacteria from sugarcane and their beneficial effects on the growth of micropropagated sugarcane plantlets. Detection of the nitrogen… (More)
Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida tropicalis were used separately and as co-culture for simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) of 5-20% (w/v) dry corn cobs. A maximal ethanol… (More)
The maximum volumetric productivity of β-galactosidase by a Kluyveromyces marxianus mutant, grown on lactose/corn steep liquor medium for 3 d, was 150 IU l−1 h−1 which is twice that of the parent… (More)
We studied heterologous expression of xylanase 11A gene of Chaetomium thermophilum in Pichia pastoris and characterized the thermostable nature of the purified gene product. For this purpose, the… (More)

A versatile synthesis of diazopeptides is reported and several new compounds described. It is shown that diazopeptides form readily from gaseous nitrogen dioxide in both neutral buffers and human… (More)
Production of xylanases by Thermomyces lanuginosus wild type and its deoxyglucose resistant mutant M7 on different substrates was investigated. The mutation conferred catabolite repression resistance… (More)
Seven indigenous thermophilic fungi were screened for cellulase and xylanase production when grown on Leptochloa fusca (kallar grass) straw. Aspergillus fumigatus produced the highest activities of… (More)
