Abstract:Objective: This study aimed to determine the enzymatic profile for xylanase, amylase, cellulase and pectinase in areas with different levels of desertification, in order to investigate how this process influences the enzymatic variation of actinobacteria.
Method: Soil samples were collected from areas susceptible to desertification with different levels of vegetation cover in the Brazilian semiarid region. The enzymatic activities of 46 actinobacterial strains isolated from these areas were evalu… Show more
