Studies on triphenylmethane, azo dye and latex rubber biodegradation by actinomycetes

摘要

The first component of this project looked at the production of secondary metabolitesudby mycelial actinomycetes which could prove useful in the bioremediation of dyes andudrubber. Through the screening of a genomic library relevant genes were identified. Theudsecond component focussed on the brief characterization of biotechnologically relevantudantimicrobials and phytase. The third component dealt with method developmentudthrough the improvement of a broad host range selective vector and the regeneration of Streptomyces spp. in liquid broth.
