Cellulases are o- glycosyl hydrolases (GHs) that hydrolyse β-1,4 glucosidic bonds in cellulose. Cellulase system is grouped into “glycoside hydrolases (GH) family” classified by different means, according to their substrate specifities, reaction, mechanisms or structural similarities. The cellulase complex is found to contain three basic components which may be present either as single polypeptide or can be grouped together into multienzyme complex known as cellulosome. Cellulase system is composed
Problem: Which enzymes pectinase or cellulase or a combination of pectinase and cellulase will break down the applesauce the most? Hypothesis: If 4 combinations of apple sauce and enzymes are tested than the applesauce with pectinase will break down more because pectinase is used to speed up the extraction of fruit juice from fruit including apple and sapota. Introduction: The students are proving for Mossa and Bogdan Apple juice inc. which enzymes Pectinase or cellulase or a combination of both will create
Abstract: Using Ion Exchange Chromatography, cellulase was purified. After purification, it was analyzed using a DNS test. The purified protein did not respond to the DNS the way it was expected to. Introduction: Purifying proteins is an important part of biology because it can help identify the function of that protein. Once a protein’s function has been identified, it can be manipulated to see how the function would change if the protein was changed. A common way to purify a protein is through
remarkable specificity under ambient conditions, catalyzed by their diverse enzyme mediated reactions. An enzyme alternative to harsh chemical technologies has led to intensively exploration of natural microbial biodiversity to discover enzymes. Cellulases are modular enzyme responsible for the hydrolysis of the β-1, 4 glucosidic bonds in cellulose, synthesized by a diverse range of microorganisms including a varieties of
The hypothesis that states that “if pectinase and cellulase are added into different containers of applesauce, then pectinase will produce the most apple juice because pectin, which is very abundant in applesauce, is broken down by pectinase to make apple juice” is supported by the data. According to the data, when water was added to applesauce, the amount of apple juice created on average was 8.2 ml. When cellulase was added to applesauce, the amount of apple juice created on average was 8.26
Commercial Uses of Enzymes The use of enzymes to modify foods has increased vastly and these fermentations are continuing to be important, however, a new type of enzyme industry has evolved which involves the use of harvesting enzymes from microorganisms. The production of enzymes from bacteria and fungi can be isolated from the growth media and cleansed and purified as necessary. Generally in industrial processes the enzyme is immobilised which allows t h enzyme to be re-used and also
decompose wood (soil bacteria). Bacterial flora present in the intestinal tracts of plant eating organisms (herbivores and termites etc) rapidly degrade cellulose with the aid of cellulase enzyme system. Cellulases are produced by fungi and bacteria: seeds of higher plants and malt also possess cellulase. In addition, cellulases are found in worms, caterpillars and snails. Native cellulose is degraded by the synergistic action of three different hydrolytic enzymes. 1. Exocellulase, also called as exobiohydrolase
Jeans have become one of the most popular articles of casual dress around the world. Nothing speaks louder than consumers’ demand; estimated over 800 million pairs of blue jeans are produced worldwide, which represents a multi-billion dollar business. According to market-research firm NPD Group, Americans bought $13.8 billion of jeans in the year ended April 30, 2011. Another resource claims that North America alone accounts for 39% of global purchases of jeans, followed by Western Europe at 20%
The Use of Enzymes in Industrial Processes 2. An enzyme is a substance that acts as a catalyst in living organisms, regulating the rate at which chemical reactions proceed without itself being altered in the process. Enzymes are used in industrial processes such as: Baking, Brewing, Detergents, Fermented products, Pharmaceuticals, Textiles, Starch processing. Here are a range of processes showing how enzymes are used Use in Baking-1 The wheat flour used to make bread contains naturally

Introduction Biofilms are complex communities of microorganism that can adhere to living or non-living surfaces. In the environment, biofilms divide by attaching and growing on surfaces. They are found in soil, aquatic system, medical devices, living tissues such as tooth, heart valves, ears and lungs. Biofilm formation is a process where the planktonic bacteria comes in contact with a surface, and producing the extracellular polymeric matrix to protect themselves against immune cells and antimicrobials
During my undergraduate research project, I had the opportunity to work under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Mozammel Hoq, My research project focused on the production of cellulase by Trichoderma spp. using submerged fermentation technique at a renowned institution ,Bangladesh Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (BCSIR). Cellulase enzyme has practical application in textile industries. This research experience intensified my interest for pursuing higher education in related fields . After my
Introduction of Pectinases: Pectinases (also known as polyglacturonase) is the collective term for a row of enzymes that are able to break down or to transform pectin. They include pectolyase, pectozyme and polyglacturonase. These enzymes are ubiquitous part of the fruit juice and wine-making industries. Pectinases form the gel which stabilizes the cell walls of the plant cells. Other molecules, like cellulose, are embedded in it. Some fruits form Pectinases during natural gestation. Pectic substance
introduction Vermicomposting is the separating of natural material using worms, microorganisms, and fungi. In nature, natural matter is deteriorated through these organisms. The finished result of vermicomposting is a substance called vermicompost or "worm castings". This is a supplement rich natural substance that can be added to soil to expand it's natural matter
1. Origin of the Proposal The development of horticulture has become a major social aspiration in many developing countries, more than ever before. This has manifested in the various kinds of advances on agricultural front. Marketing of horticulture produce is as important as production itself as it plays a very important role not only in stimulating production and consumption but also in increasing the pace of economic growth. In India a National Horticulture Mission was launched in 2005-06 as
Enzymes, such as cellulases, which catalyse the breakdown of cellulose, have been isolated from several different organisms, including fungi. However, the purification of enzyme from these sources is expensive, on the order of $5.50 per gallon of ethanol produced. Genetic engineering or biotechnology has already played a key enabling role in the development of cellulosic biomass conversion technologies by dramatically reducing the cost of cellulase production from about $5.50 per gallon
supplement that contains only lactase if dairy products give you digestive trouble. You can also buy a product that contains a specific enzyme to help you digest beans. Other products contain a combination of enzymes such as lipase for digesting fat, cellulase for breaking down fiber, amylase for carbohydrates, and protease for breaking down protein. Reasons To Take An Enzyme Supplement
The Industrial Application of Enzymes Enzymes are naturally occurring biological molecules found in all living organisms, plant, animal and microorganisms such as bacteria. All enzymes are proteins and, as with all proteins, are made up of a chain or polymer of amino acids held together by peptide bonds. This chain coils to form a specific three-dimensional globular shape, which, typically, means an enzyme will only work with one specific substrate. The purpose of an enzyme is to lower the
Ethanol can be made from many different plant sugars including starch and cellulose. Starch ethanol is the most common biofuel used in the world. It is made from kernels of corn, which is very easy to break down. This means that corn is very easily converted into ethanol. On the other hand, cellulose is not easily broken down into ethanol. Cellulose is found in the cell walls of plants, and resembles plant armor. The cellulose combines with lignin, which makes plants woody. During the process of
