Lipases are glycerol ester hydrolases that catalyze the hydrolysis of triglycerides to free fatty
acids and glycerol. Lipases catalyze esterification, interesterification, acidolysis, alcoholysis …

Lipolytic enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of ester bonds in the presence of water. In media
with low water content or in organic solvents, they can catalyze synthetic reactions such as …

Antimicrobial resistance is a major global public health problem, which develops when
pathogens acquire antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs), primarily through genetic …

A large number of microorganisms colonize the intestines of animals. The gut microbiota
plays an important role in nutrient metabolism and affects a number of physiological …

Hydrolytic enzymes are indispensable tools in the production of various foodstuffs, drugs,
and consumables owing to their applications in almost every industrial process nowadays …

The bulk of Earth's biosphere is cold (< 5° C) and inhabited by psychrophiles. Biocatalysts
from psychrophilic organisms (psychrozymes) have attracted attention because of their …

Biomass is an alternative to the depleting fossil fuels which are primary source of the biofuel
and biochemicals. It majorly consists of lignin, cellulose, hemicelluloses along with small …

A novel cold-adapted lipolytic enzyme gene, est97, was identified from a high Arctic
intertidal zone sediment metagenomic library. The deduced amino acid sequence of Est97 …

ABSTRACT A novel esterase was identified through functional screening of a metagenomic
library in Escherichia coli obtained from Antarctic desert soil. The 297-amino-acid sequence …

Microbial metagenomes derived from soils are rich sources for the discovery of novel genes
and biocatalysts. Fourteen environmental plasmid and seven fosmid libraries obtained from …
