Department of Biotechnology(@DBTIndia ):Alkalihalobacterium chitinilyticum sp. nov., was isolated from sediment collected from Lonar Lake, India by @DBT_NCCS_Pune. The ability to degrade complex polysaccharides positions it as a promising candidate for #biotechnological applications, including chitin #wastetreatment and biocontrol of phytopathogens. The production of alkaline-stable lipases and proteases suggests use in detergent formulations and other industrial processes requiring #enzymes that function in high pH environments. #ODOG #Genomics @DrJitendraSingh @rajesh
