Abstract
Water, sediment and husk samples collected from the retting ground of Anchuthengu region, Kerala, for beta-glucosidase producing microorgani sms showed wide variations. Screening of 12 bacterial strains for beta -glucosidase activity and growth exhibited narrow ranges. Sodium chlor ide, sodium sulfide and threonine were essential for growth and synthe sis of beta-glucosidase.
