Abstract

The increase in atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide contributes to global warming to a large extent.In this context biological sequestration of carbon dioxide hold promise as a means for addressing this problem.In the present study atmospheric carbon dioxide sequestration is achieved with the help of carbonic anhydrase produced by Bacillus schlegelii.A maximum activity of 0.0453 µ mol/ml/min was observed at pH 9 and 37 0 C. The enzyme was active up to 70 0 C.
