Production and characterization of xylanases of a Bacillus strain isolated from soil
Avcioglu, B; Eyupoglu, B; Bakir, U (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-02-01)
Xylanase production was performed by growing a Bacillus isolate on agricultural by-products, wheat straw, wheat bran, corn cobs and cotton bagasse. A maximum xylanase activity of 180 U/ml was obtained together with a cellulase activity of 0.03 U/ml on 4 (w/v) corn cobs. Electrophoretic analysis showed the presence of three endo-beta-1, 4-xylanases having molecular weights of about 22, 23 and 40 kDa. Xylanolytic activity was stable up to 50degreesC in the pH range of 4.5-10 and the highest activity was obser...
Production and biochemical characterization of polyphenol oxidase from thermomyces lanuginosus
Astarcı, Erhan; Bakır, Ufuk; Ögel, Zümrüt B.; Department of Biotechnology (2003)
Polyphenol oxidases are enzymes that catalyze the oxidation of certain phenolic substrates to quinones in the presence of molecular oxygen. Polyphenol oxidases are widely used in several applications. In food industry, they are used for enhancement of flavor in coffee, tea and cocoa production, and determination of food quality. In medicine, they have several uses in treatments of Parkinson̕s disease, phenlyketonurea and leukemia. In wastewater treatment, they are used for the removal of phenolic pollutants...
Production and characterization of chickpea flour based biofilms containing gallic acid
Kocakulak, Seçil; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Şahin, Serpil; Department of Food Engineering (2019)
Chickpea is an easily accessible legume which has beneficial effects on human health. On the other hand, gallic acid is a widespread phenolic compound found in various plants. In this study, it was aimed to obtain chickpea flour based active films and to characterize this films. The effects of pH (9 and 11), glycerol concentration (1% and 3% w/v of film solution) and gallic acid concentration (5% and 10% w/w of total solid) on color, opacity, mechanical strength, water vapor permeability (WVP), microstructu...
Production, purification and characterization of chitosanase from Penicillium spinulosum
Ak, O; Bakir, U; Güray, Nülüfer Tülün (1998-11-01)
A chitosan degrading fungus which had been isolated in our laboratory and identified as Penicillium spinulosum by the International Mycological Institute (England), was used for the production of chitosanase in a salt medium containing Rhizopus cell walls as the sole carbon source. Although chitosanase was produced under all the conditions tested about 1 % cell wall concentration maximized enzyme production. The enzyme was purified 50 fold by using ammonium sulfate precipitation and ion-exchange chromatogra...
