NCIM $238* ‘Swati Sucharita Dash and Sathyanarayana N. Gummadi Department of Biotechnology, Indian Institute of Technalogy-Madsas, ‘Chermai 600 136, India AbstractsA bacterial stain capable of ufliing caffeine asthe sole source of carbon and nitrogen has been isolsted from sol of coffee plantation area and deposited st National Collection of industri Microorganisms as Pseudomonas sp. based on biochemical studies In this study, the isolate showed close resemblance to Pseudomonas pusida strain T-S7 based on 16S sRNA analysis. The ability of Pseudomonas sp. to degrade caffeine was studied by growing the isolate in eaffeine medium with 1.2, 5, 7.5 and 10 g L~' of initial ‘concentration of caffeine, [twas cbcerved that te isolate could eficiently degrade caffeine tan initial conosntrtion of S g L~! within 48 h It could also bring about 599 and 21 ons : 10 : 5 02 : : 10 46 40 om ox 019 ons aa? we Ols 086 eas 7 sa ost 0% OL rn il oa 0% ols 4508 art es O17 oe Zs om 036 ‘The eapertnan was epee Uvice an he vlis repress he mean of We illzen pena wie and devia of +580 a The cai ibis concretion of eine a which He cell goth cease ws fund tobe20 gL _Basilovirio gp.

Im order to investigate the route of caffeine degradation by Pseudomonas sp.
