Enzymatic Catalysis and Microbial Technology

In the realm of industrial biotechnology, microbial technology and enzymatic catalysis have revolutionized processes by introducing more efficient, eco-friendly alternatives to traditional chemical methods. Microbes, due to their diverse metabolic pathways, serve as a versatile platform for biocatalysis, converting raw materials into valuable products. By harnessing the power of enzymes from various microbial sources, industries can achieve selective reactions with minimal by-products and energy usage. Furthermore, breakthroughs in synthetic biology have enabled the engineering of microbes with optimized pathways for the production of biofuels, bioplastics, and high-value chemical intermediates. In addition to optimizing existing microbial strains, new approaches such as CRISPR and other gene-editing techniques have expanded the potential of microorganisms for complex biosynthesis.
