  Production of Levansucrase from Local Isolate Bacillus Lichniformans MJ8 and Enzymic Synthesis and Characterization of Levan
  Author(s): Mustafa M. Omar* and Jasim M. Awda
  
  From fifty purified Bacillus spp. Isolates, twenty-six isolates of Levansucrase producing were found. They were isolated from different sources in Baghdad. These isolates were screened for their abilities to produce Levansucrase, it was found that the isolates designated S7, S8, S9, S10, S11, S12, S13, S14, F3, F4, and F5 (as named in this study) the higher producers of this enzyme by Levan formation in the sticky mucous membrane visible around the colonies, which was considered a primary indicator of the production Levansucrase. All isolates were culturally and morphologically identified to confirm they belong to the genus Bacillus sp. The secondary screening was performed on these isolates by estimation Levansucrase assay on the medium of Mineral Salts Broth modified by adding 20% sucrose, as the bacterial isolate Bacillus sp. S8 was obtained from the soil.. View More»
