Enzymes are outstanding (bio)catalysts, not solely on account of their ability to increase reaction rates by up several orders magnitude but also for the high degree substrate specificity, regiospecificity and stereospecificity. The use development enzymes as robust biocatalysts is one main challenges in biotechnology. However, despite specificities turnover enzymes, there drawbacks. At industrial level, these drawbacks typically overcome resorting immobilized enhance stability....
Polyphenolic compounds (PC) are among the most abundant secondary metabolites in nature. They widely distributed world and can be found fruits, cereals, tea, coffee, beverages. Due to their structural diversity, polyphenols have many different properties biological effects. resistant acid of gastric tract, very few hydrolysed or absorbed stomach. Significant portions ingested reach large intestine interact with local bacteria, so-called gut microbiota. Epidemiological studies confirm that...
Food and feed is possibly the area where processing anchored in biological agents has deepest roots. Despite this, process improvement or design implementation of novel approaches been consistently performed, more so recent years, significant advances enzyme engineering biocatalyst have fastened pace such developments. This paper aims to provide an updated succinct overview on applications enzymes food sector, progresses made, namely, within scope tapping for efficient biocatalysts, through...
Bacteria in marine environments are often under extreme conditions of e.g., pressure, temperature, salinity, and depletion micronutrients, with survival proliferation depending on the ability to produce biologically active compounds. Some bacteria biosurfactants, which help transport hydrophobic low water soluble substrates by increasing their bioavailability. However, other functions related heavy metal binding, quorum sensing biofilm formation have been described. In case ions, developed a...
Abstract Advances in high‐throughput process development and optimization involve the rational use of miniaturized stirred bioreactors, instrumented shaken flasks microtiter plates. As expected, each one provides different levels control monitoring, requiring a compromise between data quantity quality. Despite recent advances, traditional with nominal volumes below 250 mL plates are still widely used to assemble wide arrays biotransformation/bioconversion data, because their simplicity low...
Enzymes are high-performance natural biological catalysts with wide-ranging applications in agricultural, medical, food and environmental sectors. Nevertheless, lack of efficient recovery, reusability, high cost the soluble form enzymes most daunting challenges rendering biocatalytic systems inadequate for industrial exploitation. In order to deal these inadequacies, immobilization appears be a prodigious approach enhancing stability catalytic efficiency enzymes, as well enabling their...
Biocatalysis is currently a workhorse used to produce wide array of compounds, from bulk fine chemicals, in green and sustainable manner. The success biocatalysis largely thanks an enlargement the feasible chemical reaction toolbox. This materialized due major advances enzyme screening tools methods, together with high-throughput laboratory techniques for biocatalyst optimization through engineering. Therefore, enzyme-related knowledge has significantly increased. To handle large number data...
