Resumen:

Enzymes are important due to their many useful properties. Their development, to a great extent, has been possible due to the availability of microbial sources. Microorganisms are of much attention because they can be produced economically and are amenable to genetic improvement. Microbial enzymes have replaced many plant and animal enzymes. They have found application in many industries including foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals, detergents, textiles, leather, chemicals, biofuels, animal feed, personal care, pulp and paper, diagnostics, and therapy. New molecular methods, including genomics and metagenomics, are being employed for the discovery of new enzymes from microbes. The development of recombinant DNA technology has had a major effect on production levels of enzymes and represent a way to overproduce industrially important microbial, plant, and animal enzymes. It has been estimated that between 50-60% of the world enzyme market is supplied by recombinant enzymes. In addition, directed evolution techniques have allowed design of enzyme specificities and better performance. © 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
