Biotechnological production of 1,3-propanediol from crude glycerol
1,3-Propanediol (1,3-PD) is one of the important products used in chemical industry, in particular for polyesters production (e.g. polyethers and polyurethanes). Using crude glycerol for producing 1,3-PD is a good solution from the economical as well as ecological point of view. Glycerol produced by cleavage of natural fats can be microbially converted to 1.3-propanediol by, among others, Citro...
متن کاملLaccase: Microbial Sources, Production, Purification, and Potential Biotechnological Applications
Laccase belongs to the blue multicopper oxidases and participates in cross-linking of monomers, degradation of polymers, and ring cleavage of aromatic compounds. It is widely distributed in higher plants and fungi. It is present in Ascomycetes, Deuteromycetes and Basidiomycetes and abundant in lignin-degrading white-rot fungi. It is also used in the synthesis of organic substance, where typical...
متن کاملLeathers Biotechnological production and applications of pullulan
Pullulan is a unique biopolymer with many useful traits and hundreds of patented applications. However, despite the fact that pullulan has been in commercial production for more than 25 years, few of these potential uses have been widely adopted. In large part this may be due to the relatively high price of pullulan. Nevertheless, the last few years have seen a resurgence in interest in pullula...
متن کاملPhytases: crystal structures, protein engineering and potential biotechnological applications.
Phytases are a group of enzymes capable of releasing phosphates from phytates, one of the major forms of phosphorus (P) in animal feeds of plant origin. These enzymes have been widely used in animal feed to improve phosphorus nutrition and to reduce phosphorus pollution in animal waste. This review covers the basic nomenclature and crystal structures of phytases and emphasizes both the protein ...
متن کاملBiotechnological Production of Lactic Acid and Its Recent Applications
Lactic acid is widely used in the food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries and has received increased attention for use as a monomer for the production of biodegradable poly(lactic acid). It can be produced by either biotechnological fermentation or chemical synthesis, but the former route has received considerable interest recently, due to environmental concerns and the limited ...
