screening of rhizospheric actinomycetes for various in-vitro and in-vivo plant growth promoting (pgp) traits and for agroactive compounds.	in this study 98 rhizospheric actinomycetes were isolated from different wheat and tomato fields, punjab, pakistan. the isolates were characterized morphologically, biochemically, and genetically and were subjected to a comprehensive in vitro screening for various plant growth promoting (pgp) traits. about 30% of the isolates screened were found to be the promising pgp rhizobacteria (pgprs), which exhibited maximum genetic similarity (up to 98-99%) with different species of the genus streptomyce ...	2016	27621724
taxonomy and polyphasic characterization of alkaline amylase producing marine actinomycete streptomyces rochei btss 1001.	actinomycetes isolated from marine sediments along the southeast coast of bay of bengal were investigated for amylolytic activity. marine actinomycete btss 1001 producing an alkaline amylase was identified from marine sediment of diviseema coast, bay of bengal. the isolate produced alkaline amylase with maximum amylolytic activity at ph 9.5 at 50°c. the organism produced white to pale grey substrate mycelium and grayish aerial mycelium with pinkish brown pigmentation. a comprehensive study of mo ...	2013	24489548
power generation from cellulose using mixed and pure cultures of cellulose-degrading bacteria in a microbial fuel cell.	microbial fuel cells (mfcs) have been used to generate electricity from various organic compounds such as acetate, glucose, and lactate. we demonstrate here that electricity can be produced in an mfc using cellulose as the electron donor source. tests were conducted using two-chambered mfcs, the anode medium was inoculated with mixed or pure culture of cellulose-degrading bacteria nocardiopsis sp. knu (s strain) or streptomyces enissocaesilis knu (k strain), and the catholyte in the cathode comp ...	2012	22975124
