The marine cyanobacteriumPhormidium valderianumBDU 140441 exhibited the ability to grow at 0.25 mM tannic acid, a known hindering chemical for microbial growth. The tannic acid-degrading ability of the organism is evident from the UV–visible absorption spectrum. In addition, the existence of tannase has been localized by activity staining, and its induction in activity upon tannic acid exposure was confirmed in native gel. The critical tannic acid metabolization enzymes tested for are polyphenol oxidase and esterases; both are well known for tannic acid degradation. Upon tannic acid exposure, increased activity of polyphenol oxidase and expression of few new isoforms of esterase were identified by activity staining.
