Abstract
Carbonic anhydrases belonging to the α-class are widely distributed in bacterial species. These enzymes have been isolated from bacteria with completely different characteristics including both Gram-negative and Gram-positive strains. α-CAs show a considerable similarity when comparing the biochemical, kinetic and structural features, with only small differences which reflect the diverse role these enzymes play in Nature. In this chapter, we provide a comprehensive overview on bacterial α-CA data, with a highlight to their potential biomedical and biotechnological applications.
