| Abstract: | Mangroves provide a unique ecological niche to different
microbes which play various roles in nutrient recycling as well as various
environmental activities. Analysis of microbial biodiversity from these
ecosystems will help in isolating and identifying new and potential
microorganisms having high specificity for various applications. Mangroves
sediment soils are a resource of fungi providing an end number of enzymes that
finds their use in industrial processes. This study indicates the extracellular
production of amylase by
Aspergillus flavus MV5 was confirmed on GYP agar plates. Further maximum
enzyme activity was optimized and the DNA of fungal strains were isolated to
sequence the ITS region of 5.8s rRNA with an ITS primer. The novelty of the
strain was checked by a BLAST analysis for submission to GenBank. |
