Molecular identification, production and optimization of pectinase by using stenotrophomonas maltophilia P9 isolated from algal biomass of Himachal Pradesh, India

The demand for enzymes in the global market is projected to rise at a fast pace in recent years. There has been a great increase in industrial applications of pectinase owing to their significant biotechnological uses. Therefore the study was undertaken with aims of; screening pectinase producing bacteria from Rhizoclonium sp. algal biomass collected from different parts of Himachal Pradesh.
