ISOLATION AND IDENTIFICATION OF YEAST FROM MARINE ENVIRONMENT AND ITS ROLE IN ENZYME PRODUCTION

Abstract

The intense research on marine sources have brought many potential candidates that spanning variety of industries such as in various industries, such as baking, brewing, wine, bioethanol and pharmaceutical protein production. However, only little attention has been given to marine yeasts. The present study aimed to isolate the marine soil yeasts for the production of industrial important enzymes. Soil samples were collected from Dhanushkodi (9.152011°N 79.445851°E), Ramanathapuram Dist. Tamil Nadu was collected and screened for physiochemical parameters such as electron conductivity nitrogen, total phosphorous, total potassium, total calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, iron and manganese and organic carbon etc.,
