Abstract excerpt
Dextranase, 6-alpha-D-glucan 6-glucanohydrolase catalyzes the degradation of dextran (polymer of D-glucose) in to low molecular weight fractions. Dextranolytic bacterial strains were isolated from various natural sources and plate assay methods were developed for screening of highest extracellular dextranase producing isolate. Bacillus licheniformis, identified on the basis of taxonomic characterization was...
