Summary: | Amylases are industrial enzymes which hydrolyze carbohydrate
molecules to give diverse products including dextrins and
progressively smaller polymers composed of glucose units. Due
to their wide industrial applications, these enzymes account for
65 % of global enzyme market with microorganisms being the
predominant sources for enzyme production. Enzyme production
on industrial level is still faced by challenges represented by
high production costs, selection of appropriate microorganisms
and improvement of medium composition and process condition
parameters. Hence, the search is always on for means to decrease
enzyme production costs and increase enzyme productivity. |
