Development of Novel Microbial Lipase Resources

Abstract:

Microbial lipase, one of important industrial biocatalysts, has been used widely in many industrial and agricultural fields. It is always the research focus to screen, mine and develop the microbial lipases with novel catalytic activity and high stability. This paper introduces briefly the pathways and methods to mine novel microbial lipase resources from six aspects, including extremophile, metagenome, genome database, protein engineering, immobilization, chemical modification, etc.
