The study of indigenously prepared membrane for bacterial affinity and for
the detection of bacterial contamination in water sample had been carried out. The
proposed work was initiated with the selection of specific polymeric membrane with
enhanced affinity towards selected gram positive and gram negative bacteria. And the
development of polymeric membrane based sensors for the detection of bacterial
contamination in any water sample was carried out. Eventually, indigenous bacterial
isolates retained on the above membrane will be tested for the ability to produce
industrially important enzyme. Enzymes play a pivotal role in detergent,
pharmaceutical, leather, food, metal recovery, and waste treatment and agriculture
industries. The research activity in this area would contribute towards developing
advanced bioprocess technology to reduce the toxicity of the pollutants and also to
obtain novel useful substances through enzyme catalysis.
