Abstract:
Microorganisms distributed in the marine and brackish environments
play an important role in the decomposition of organic matter and
mineralisation in the system (Seshadri and lgnacimuthu, 2002). Estuary is
one of the most productive ecosystems, at the same time one among the
least explored ecosystems on earth, which has immense potential as a
source of potent microorganisms that produce valuable compounds
particularly, enzymes such as proteases. In this scenario, it is very
appropriate to embark on finding novel alkaline protease producers from the
estuarine system. The area where the present investigation was carried out
is a part of the extensive estuarine system of South India viz. Cochin Estuary.
There is meagre knowledge regarding the microbial composition, particularly
the protease producers of Cochin Estuary. Hence, the present study has
been undertaken with the objective of finding novel alkaline protease
producing bacteria from Cochin Estuary
