Lipases are industrial biocatalysts, which are involved in several novel reactions, occurring
in aqueous medium as well as non-aqueous medium. Furthermore, they are well-known for …

Compared to free enzymes in solution, immobilized enzymes are more robust and more
resistant to environmental changes. More importantly, the heterogeneity of the immo-bilized …

Microorganisms have been exposed to a myriad of substrates and environmental conditions
throughout evolution resulting in countless metabolites and enzymatic activities. Although …

Enzymes from extremophilic microorganisms usually catalyze chemical reactions in non-
standard conditions. Such conditions promote aggregation, precipitation, and denaturation …

Halophiles are excellent sources of enzymes that are not only salt stable but also can
withstand and carry out reactions efficiently under extreme conditions. The aim of the study …

Non-aqueous enzymology has always drawn attention due to the wide range of unique
possibilities in biocatalysis. In general, the enzymes do not or insignificantly catalyze …

Organic-solvent-tolerant bacteria are considered extremophiles with different tolerance
levels that change among species and strains, but also depend on the inherent toxicity of the …

Extremophilic organisms are primarily prokaryotic (archaea and bacteria), with few
eukaryotic examples. Extremophiles are defined by the environmental conditions in which …

Proteases are universal in existence in all organisms and are needed for metabolic activities
of the cell. Also, proteases are the paramount hydrolytic enzymes widely used in industrial …

Fermentation Microbiology and Biotechnology, 4th Edition explores and illustrates the broad
array of metabolic pathways employed for the production of primary and secondary …
