| Popis: | Carboxylesterase, a group of relatively non specific enzymes, are widely distributed in nature and catalyze the hydrolysis of carboxylic acid esters to their respective acid anions and alcohols. Signi ficant quantities of these enzymes bave also been demonstrated in some microorganism capable of hydrolyzing malathion (Barik et al., 1984). The use of crude enzymes in waste water treatment for the removal of certain toxicants ( e .g. parathion ) has been pr oposed by several investigators (Klibanov, 1981;Munnecke et al.p1982) 9 In order to explore the pos sibility of deg fading high amounts of malathion in waste water an attempt has been made to study the characteristics of the enzymes found capable of degrading malathion in aquatic medium. |
