Abstract:
The thesis entitled “Alkaline Protease Production by Marine Fungus Engyodontium BTMFS 10”.Proteases are the single class of enzymes, which occupy a pivotal position with respect to their application in both physiological and commercial filed. Protease in the industrial market is expected to increase further in the coming year. The current trend is to use microbial enzymes since they provide a greater diversity of catalytic activities and can be produced more economically. Main objective of theses studies are the optimization of various physicochemical factors in the solid state fermentation for the production of alkaline protease enzyme, characterization of the enzyme, evaluation of the enzyme for various industrial application. The result obtained the during the course of theses study indicate the scope for the utilization of this study Marine Fungus E. Album for extra cellular protease production employing solid state fermentation

Abstract:
In this thesis an attempt is made to explore the potential of marine fungi for the production of chitinolytic enzymes and to recognize the ability to hydrolyse native chitin through submerged as well as solid substrate fermentation culture conditions, using wheat bran and shellfish processing waste such as ‘prawn waste’ as solid substrates. Attempt was made to isolate a potential chitinase producing fungus from marine environment and to develop an ideal bioprocess for the
production ofchitolytic enzymes.Present study indicate scope for utilization of B. bassiana
for industrial production of chitinase using prawn waste as solid substrate employing solid substrate fermentation.

Abstract:
Marine fungi remain totally unexplored as a source of industrial enzyme
and prospective applications. Further tannase production by a marine organism has
so far not been established. The primary objective of this study included the
evaluation of the potential of Aspergillus awamori isolated from sea water as part
of an earlier study and available in the culture collection of the Microbial
technology laboratory for tannase production through different fermentation
methods, optimization of bioprocess variables by statistical methods, purification
and characterization of the enzyme, genetic study, and assessment of its potential applications.
