Phytases are phosphatases which stepwise remove phosphates from phytic acid or its salts.
β-Propeller phytase (BPPhy) belongs to a special class of microbial phytases that is …

Phytic acid is the main reservoir of phosphorous in plants and accounts for more than 80%
of the total phosphorous in cereals. It is well known to possess anti-nutritional behavior …

Phytases are important industrial enzymes able to catalyze the release of up to six
phosphates from phytate in a stepwise hydrolysis reaction. Phytases are almost exclusively …

Globally, plant-derivatives especially cereals and legumes are the major staple food sources
for animals. The seeds of these crops comprise of phytic acid, the major repository form of …

The thermostable phytase gene was isolated from Bacillus subtilis ARRMK33
(BsPhyARRMK33). The gene has an ORF of 1152 bp and that encodes a protein of 383 …

Phytases, a class of phosphatases, catalyse the stepwise removal of soluble phosphate from
phytates. Plants contain phytates, which are a major organic form of phosphorus. Phytates …

The nutritional components and protein quality of genetically modified maize expressing
phytase gene (GM) were analyzed and evaluated in this study. The nutritional components …

This chapter will cover aspects that relate to the changes that are imposed on the rumen
during the transition period. The rumen is the most important part of the forestomachs and …

Background: Phytases are enzymes capable of degrading phytic acid and used in animal
feed supplementation in order to improve digestibility through the release of minerals such …

Phytase enzymes are applied to animal feed to help animals absorb more nutrients. The use
of feed raw materials containing phytase enzymes is expected to reduce the cost of animal …
