Cloning, expression and characterisation of Amidase Genes from a psychrotolerant Nesterenkonia isolate

Masters of Science === A nitrile and amide hydrolysing Nesterenkonia sp. was isolated from Antarctic soil and was characterised as a psychrotolerant, halotolerant and alkaliphilic extremophile. Amidases are widely distributed in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. These enzymes hydrolyze C-N...
