Microbial Enzymes: Roles and Applications in Industries

Part of the book series: Microorganisms for Sustainability ((MICRO,volume 11))

Abstract

Lipases are important biocatalysts and known for their versatile biotechnological applications. Lipases are well known as triacylglycerol hydrolases converting fats into simpler compounds as glycerol and fatty acids at the water-lipid interface and vice versa in nonaqueous medium. Amongst, microorganisms mainly bacteria, fungi, and yeasts are the sources of lipase. Important lipase-producing bacterial genera are Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Botryococcus, and Burkholderia. Microbial lipases have received much attention due to their high substrate specificity, lesser processing time, low energy need, high stability, and inexpensive industrial production by using easily available raw materials. The high stability of lipases has extended their application to different industries, and they are taking the lead in the industrial synthesis of oleochemicals, surfactants, drugs, and bioactive compounds. Microbial lipases have wide commercial applicability and are used for the manufacture of several products like oil, food, soaps and detergents, cosmetics, paper, leather, fabrics, and biodiesel. In the fat and oil industries various trans-esterification and inter-esterification chemical reactions are catalyzed for the alteration of fats/oils in the production of nutritionally important triacylglycerols and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), substitutes for cocoa butter, fatty acid-enriched oils, etc. At the global level, vigorous research for finding novel microbial lipases with industrial value is being carried out. This chapter emphasizes the microbial synthesis of lipases and applications in varying sectors of industries.
