The metabolism of Archaea, the third domain of life, resembles in its complexity those of
Bacteria and lower Eukarya. However, this metabolic complexity in Archaea is accompanied …

Extremophilic microorganisms are adapted to survive in ecological niches such as at high
temperatures, extremes of pH, high salt concentrations and high pressure. These …

Industrial enzyme market has been projected to reach US $6.2 billion by 2020. Major
reasons for continuous rise in the global sales of microbial enzymes are because of …

A newly isolated Bacillus subtilis JS-2004 strain was cultured in liquid media containing
waste potato starch to produce α-amylase. The effect of calcium, yeast extract and glucose …

To date, many industrial processes are performed using chemical compounds, which are
harmful to nature. An alternative to overcome this problem is biocatalysis, which uses whole …

The discovery of thermophilic Archaea was one of the major scientific events of the last
years, especially because their enzymes are of great interest. Effectively, these later concern …

Archaea have developed a variety of molecular strategies to survive the often harsh
environments in which they exist. Although the rules that allow archaeal enzymes to fulfill …

A highly thermostable alkaline amylase producing Bacillus sp. PN5 was isolated from soil,
which yielded 65.23 UmL− 1 of amylase in medium containing (%) 0.6 starch, 0.5 peptone …

This article surveys methods for the enzymatic conversion of starch, involving hydrolases
and nonhydrolyzing enzymes, as well as the role of microorganisms producing such …
