Serratia marcescens is a gram negative bacterium. It belongs to the genus Serratia and family enterobacteriaceae. This bacterium produces red coloured pigments, bio-surfactants and various types of enzymes (proteases, chitinases, lipases, nucleases, laccases) they contribuates essential role in many uses. Keeping all these benefits of Serratia marcescens in mind, here in this book we illustrated how to isolate, identify and characterize this bacterium for the research purpose and its exploitation for industrial purposes. We discussed mainly with regard to proteases. we wish this book will...

This book presents the fundamental ideas and facts about the Bacillus thuringiensis and its largest Cry1 insecticidal crystal proteins. It has got its shape because of growing usage of Cry toxins in the agriculture field. It was written keeping in the mind the beginning graduates and the readers who are new to the field of Bacillus thuringiensis based research. These two made us to keep the book in compact and concise manner and give more information in tabular form so that it will be easily to grasp and convey more to the audience.
