Abstract
A biosaline environment exists in many parts of the world where enzyme technology has not yet begun to flourish. Accordingly, there is little information available on the effects of the environmental conditions of high temperature and salinity on specific enzymatic processes of industrial importance or on the specific production of the animals, higher plants or microorganisms which presently serve as sources of enzymes. Up to now, it seems that industrialists have not sought and perhaps have avoided the practice of enzyme technology under biosaline conditions.
