- Title
Extreme Biocatalysts: From Basic Research to Biotechnological Applications.
- Authors
Fusco, Salvatore; Siebers, Bettina
- Abstract
The article discusses the potential of extreme biocatalysis in driving sustainable industrial processes. It highlights the use of extremozymes, enzymes derived from extremophiles, in various biotechnological applications. The article includes studies on the cultivation of microbial communities for biomass conversion, the characterization of aldehyde:ferredoxin oxidoreductases, the analysis of red algae-associated bacteria, the enhancement of therapeutic enzymes through protein engineering, the synthesis of nucleosides using enzyme membrane reactors, the identification of glycosyl hydrolases from thermophilic microorganisms, the engineering of thermo- and alkaline-tolerant xylanases, and the metagenomic analysis of microbial communities. The article also features reviews on cold-active enzymes and the biotechnological potential of halophilic filamentous fungi. Overall, the article emphasizes the importance of extremozymes in addressing global challenges and promoting sustainability.
