A METHOD FOR THE PREPARATION OF kappa;-CARRAGEENASE

摘要

Halophilic marine gram negative bacteria, isolated from decayed algae, hydrolyzed k-carrageenan. To maximize k-carrageenase production in the cost effective manner, a novel medium was defined having minimum components and their optimum concentration by statistical optimization method. Hence there evolved a novel medium composition for enhanced k-carrageenase production by a new halotolerant marine bacterium, Pseudomonas spp.
