The cellulase free xylanase from microorganisms has been isolated and tested for bleaching activity, giving rise to a new concept of biobleaching. In this aspect, the present study aims to check the tolerance of Trichoderma spp. , a biological controllingagent, in perceptive to the production of xylanase enzyme. The strains were isolated fromthe environmental soil samples taken from the effluent treatment area. The organismswere subjected to growth at various pH conditions. The resistant strains T-1 and T-2 to adifferent pH were further isolated and grown by on selective xylan-agar medium.Maximum growth of the organism was found at 48h under submerged condition in xylancontaining enriched medium. The organisms produce an extra cellular xylanase that had alow molecular weight and optimal working temperatures. F...

Studies were carried out to isolate and identify microorganisms for probiotic use. Selection of strains included various criteria such as agreement with bio-safety aspects, viability during storage, tolerance to low pH and antimicrobial activity. The strains were isolated from milk curd and compared with those culture procured from Microbial Type Culture Collection and Genbank, Chandigarh. The strains were subjected to acid tolerability. The acidified strains were encapsulated with Sodium Alginate and inoculated to different fruit juices that served as substrates for probiotic fermentation. The characters of the probioticated substrates were studied and were tested for shelf life. It was evidently proved that immobilized cultures remained viable over a long period of time and the probiotically fermented drinks were potentially inhibiting the pathogenic growth. Prospective studies on mechanisms of the probiotic activities m...
