Project during Master’s degree: Studies on Production of Cellulase Complex from the spent straw bed of edible mushroom Pleurotus Species.

Thesis details: In this study the edible mushroom Pleurotus has been explored as a potential source of cellulase complex and the spent straw bed of the above species was found out to be a potent biomass of cellulase enzyme.

The specific aims were:

  1. Selection of ideal buffer system for isolation of cellulase.
  2. Study the enzyme activity with respect to time.
  3. Purification of enzyme system.
  4. Study of substrate specificity.

The enzyme extract was collected from spent straw bed of Pleurotus species at different interval of time and enzymatic activity was calculated. The extract was subjected to purification by Ammonium Sulphate precipitation and dialyzed through Cellulose Ester Membrane and thereby fractionated on a Gel Filtration Column. 30 fractions were obtained out of which 10 fractions showed enzymatic activity towards CMC, Avicel, Ethyl Cellulose & Methyl Cellulose. The dialyzed extract when ran on a 12% SDS-PAGE it showed molecular mass ranging between 96028.467 to 815.23

 

B.Pharm Project:   Pharmacognostical investigations on medicinal herbaceous species of Phyllanthus occurring in Ranchi(Family : Euphorbiaceae)
