Application of Bacterial Thermostable Lipolytic Enzymes in the Modern Biotechnological Processes: A Review

Abstract

Review focuses on the modern applications of bacterial lipolytic enzymes in biotechnology and covers the scope of their properties including their activity and functional stability at different temperatures, pH, substrate specificity, and activity in the presence of different chemicals. The recent data on the production of genetically engineered strains producing the bacterial lipolytic enzymes and approaches to improving their productivity are presented. The applications of bacterial lipases in biotechnological processes used in the production of biofuel, chemicals and detergents, in the food industry, and in wastewater treatment are considered.
