The present invention relates to a novel strain of alkalothermophilicsp. isolated from a hot spring at Vajeshwari, District Thane, The State of Maharashtra, India and deposited at American Type Culture Centre (ATCC), bearing accession No. PTA 972, said strain ofsp. having the following characteristics (i) aerobic, (ii) gram positive, (iii) motile, (iv) spore forming, (v) capable of growing in a alkaline medium at pH 8-10, and (vi) exhibiting negative reaction towards production of indole, hydrogen, sulfide, ammonia and urease and positive reaction for hydrolysis of starch, production of catalase, hydrolysis of casein and reduction of nitrate.

Process for the preparation of protease inhibitor using novel alkalothermophilic bacillus sp

The process of the invention reports a new biological method, instead of chemical or physical methods, for preparing colloidal nano-sized metal sulphides using fungi.

Process for the preparation of metal sulfide nanoparticles

The present invention provides a new biocatalyst whole cell system for converting cyclic ketones such as cyclopentanone/cyclohexanone to the corresponding lactones such as valerolactone/caprolactone. Another novel aspect of the present invention is that biocatalyst fungus f.sp. ciceri NCIM 1282 species has been found to be an efficient biocatalyst system for any biotransformation for the first time.

Process for preparation of a lactone from a cyclic ketone

The invention relates to a biological process for the preparation of nano-sized colloidal metal particles by treating wet fungus or fungus extract with a metal ion solution of the desired metal and separating the biomass to obtain the nano-sized colloidal metal particles.
