ISOLATION, IDENTIFICATION AND MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF PECTINASE PRODUCING BACTERIAL ISOLATE Klebsiella oxytoca

Abstract

Twenty two bacteria were isolated from soil samples local. were assayed for pectinolytic activity after optimization condition for pectinase production. isolate No. 22 showed high pectinase specific activity (91.4U/ml) on glucose supplemented medium. the identification of the isolate revealed that it belongs to the Genus klebseilla bassed on morphological, biochemical characteristic, growth and molecular level 16s rRNA indicated that isolate was 99% similarity with Klebsiella oxytoca JKo3. Therefore, it was named Klebsiella oxytoca N22.
