Study on Antioxidant activity and strain development of Bacillus subtilis (MTCC No.10619)

The present study focused on the antioxidant activity for the Bacillus subtilis which showed potential activity and strain improvement of B. subtilis through random mutagenesis to obtain mutant having high antibacterial activity. B. subtilis was subjected for mutation study by using physical (UV radiation) and chemical (NTG) mutation methods. After the mutations, antibacterial activity of the strain was increased and different at different time intervals. They were tested for the presence of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant activity.
