## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Chitin, a source of chitosan, was extracted from the teguments of white shrimp __Parapenaeus longirostris__, by means of __Lactobacillus helveticus__ growing on date juice waste or glucose for comparison. A fermentor containing 10% (w/v) of shrimp shells was inoculated w

## Abstract It would appear from these data that indeed asphalt degradation by bacteria does occur and can be rather rapid under laboratory conditions. The types of bacteria capable of degrading asphalt are diverse. The effects of temperature, pH, and oxygen tension on asphalt degradation are impor
From the soil, different microorganisms were isolated after enrichment growth on the following medium: NH,NO, O.lyo, K,HPO, 0.025%, MgSO, .7H,O 0.025%, FeSO, a 7 H,O 0.0001 yo, cholesterol 0.1 yo, distilled water 100 ml. 10 g of soil were added to 190 ml of this sterilized medium. The cholesterol wa
## Abstract Pretreatment of shrimp shells was investigated in order to lower the costs and to improve the sustainability of chitin production. Physical pretreatment comprising drying, grinding and sieving is attractive for the recovery of 50% of shrimp protein as a dry powder. Pretreatment of shell
