Biotransformations with Crude Enzymes and Whole Cells

  • Chapter
Enzyme Technology

Abstract

Biotransformation can be defined as a process dealing with the conversion of a compound, often called precursor, into structurally related compound(s) by a biocatalyst in a limited number of enzymatic steps. Such operation is also called microbial transformation or even bioconversion. Straathof et al (2002) thus define biotransformation as “a reaction or a set of simultaneous reactions in which a pre-formed precursor molecule is converted, in contrast to a fermentation process with de novo production from a carbon and energy source such as glucose via primary metabolism”. The biocatalyst can be whole cells, spores, crude enzymes or purified enzymes.
