Sustainable production of microbial phytase from animal faeces-derived Escherichia sp. via process optimization using response surface methodology

The global phytase market is projected to reach USD 28.53 billion by 2035, reflecting substantial growth potential over the forecast period. The production of microbial phytase supports sustainable waste management; besides, enhances industrial and agricultural applicability by e...

Optimizing biosurfactant production through cost effectiveness and precision approaches

Biosurfactants (BSs) are surface-active compounds synthesized by several microbes, serving as a sustainable substitute for chemical surfactants due to their non-toxicity, biodegradability and environmental-friendliness. They have garnered considerable attention owing to their bro...

Draft genome of Streptomyces species VRG-4 isolated from leaf cutter ants of Uttarakhand

ABSTRACT We describe the draft genome sequence of Streptomyces sp. VRG-4, isolated from leaf cutter ants (Uttarakhand, India). The genome (9.3 Mb) consists of 83 contigs with 72% GC content. Genome annotation identified 8,243 protein-coding genes and 69 tRNA genes, which can be f...
