Current Perspective on Relevance and Applications of Microbial Enzymes in Industries: A Review

Abstract

Microorganisms' biocatalytic capacity has been used to make bread, wine, vinegar, and other familiar items for generations, although the biochemical foundation of their constituents is unknown. Microbial enzymes have gained appeal for their widespread application in industries and medicine due to their stability, catalytic activity, and ease of production procedures and optimization. Enzymes' usage in a variety of sectors (e.g., food, agriculture, chemicals, and medications) is fast rising due to its shorter processing time, low energy input, cost efficiency, nontoxic, and environmentally benign features. Toxic chemical substances in industrial and residential wastes (nitriles, amines, phenolic compounds and so on) can also be degraded or transformed by microbial enzymes.
