Enzyme producing capabilities of some extremophilic fungal strains isolated from different habitats of Wadi El-Natrun, Egypt. Part 1: Protease, lipase and phosphatase
Journal Title: European Journal of Biological Research - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Thirty-nine isolates of the most commonly encoun-tered fungal species from different extreme habitats of Wadi El-Natrun region were tested for their capabilities of producing protease, lipase and phosphatase enzymes. Most of these isolates had the capabilities of producing protease (84.2%), lipase (89.7%) and phosphatase (100%) but with different degrees. Thirty-five isolates showed high producing abilities of phosphatase (30 isolates), lipase (22) and protease (8) on different screening media. Some of these isolates were high producers for more than one enzyme, on one or more of the screening media. The present results reveal some very interesting strains having the high capabilities for producing more than one enzyme on more than one of the screening media.
