More than three-quarters of the Earth's surface is occupied by cold ecosystems, including
the ocean depths, and polar and alpine regions. These permanently cold environments …

Abstract α-Amylase (EC 3.2. 1.1) represents the best known amylolytic enzyme. It catalyzes
the hydrolysis of α-1, 4-glucosidic bonds in starch and related α-glucans. In general, the α …

301 glycosyl hydrolases and related enzymes corresponding to 39 EC entries of the IUB
classification system have been classified into 35 families on the basis of amino-acid …

By far the largest proportion of the Earth's biosphere is comprised of organisms that thrive in
cold environments (psychrophiles). Their ability to proliferate in the cold is predicated on a …

Psychrophiles thriving permanently at near‐zero temperatures synthesize cold‐active
enzymes to sustain their cell cycle. Genome sequences, proteomic, and transcriptomic …

Psychrophilic enzymes produced by cold-adapted microorganisms display a high catalytic
efficiency and are most often, if not always, associated with high thermosensitivity. Using X …

Industrial enzyme market has been projected to reach US $6.2 billion by 2020. Major
reasons for continuous rise in the global sales of microbial enzymes are because of …

In the last few years, increased attention has been focused on a class of organisms called
psychrophiles. These organisms, hosts of permanently cold habitats, often display metabolic …

Psychrophiles, ie, organisms thriving permanently at near-zero temperatures, synthesize
cold-active enzymes to sustain their cell cycle. These enzymes are already used in many …

α-Amylases constitute a very diverse family of glycosyl hydrolases that cleave α1→ 4
linkages in amylose and related polymers. Recent structural and mutagenic studies of …
