Marine Streptomyces BLH 3-7 had been isolated from Bitung Sea, Sulawesi, as bacteria capable of hydrolyzing agar. To optimize the agarase activity from the bacteria, selection of the best temperature for culture condition and modifying the carbon, nitrogen, and mineral range of concentration in the media (e.g., maltose, (NH4 Methodology (RSM) was conducted. The temperature of 37 activity as the…
A marine bacteria Streptomyces BLH 3-7 from Bitung Sea Sulawesi were isolated and observed to produce agarase enzymes in basic ISP2 media. To improve the agarase production, different carbon, nitrogen, pH, and minerals were compared to observe their effects on the agarase production through one factor at a time (OFAT) method. By selecting the best factor one at a time, the optimized media…
