An impact of N-glycosylation on biochemical properties of a recombinant α-amylase from .

Amylases are enzymes that are known to hydrolyze starch. High efficiency of amylolytic enzymes allows them to compete in the industry with the technology of chemical hydrolysis of starch. A strain with high amylolytic activity was isolated from soil and designated as T5.

Cloning, expression, and characterization of a recombinant xylanase from Bacillus sonorensis T6.

Xylanase is one of industrial enzymes with diverse applications including the paper-bleaching industry and feed additives. Here, a strain having xylanolytic activity and identified as Bacillus sonorensis T6 was isolated from soil. A secretory enzyme was identified by mass-spectrometry as a xylanase of glycosyl hydrolase family 11, with a molecular weight of 23.

Isolation of sp. A5.3 Strain with Keratinolytic Activity.

Environmental safety and economic factors necessitate a search for new ways of processing poultry farm feathers, which are 90% β-keratin and can be used as a cheap source of amino acids and peptones. In this study, feather-decomposing bacteria were isolated from a site of accumulation of rotten feathers and identified as . Among them, the sp.
