RAPD- PCR markers based genetic variability study of Lipase producing gene among the Aeromonas Species Isolated from Clinical Isolates

Abstract

Lipases are a group of enzymes which vary in size, substrate specificity and activity among other enzymes. They also vary with other enzymes in terms of their activators and inhibitors.

As in recent decades, interest over lipase had been drastically increased owing to its vast number of industrial applications. As such metagenomics paved new ways to identify and screen novel methods to isolate the enzyme from different sources [6]. Wide variety of lipolytic genes have been traced out from the marine environment especially from the sponges like Aplysina aerophoba, Hyrtios erecta. Very recently about 15 new genes which are completely lipolytic in nature were isolated and purified from south china marine sediments.
