Biocatalysis for Green Synthesis: Exploring the Use of Enzymes and Microorganisms as Catalysts for Organic Synthesis, Highlighting Their Advantages over Traditional Chemical Catalysts in Terms of Selectivity, Efficiency, and Environmental Impact

Abstract

This study explores the use of microorganisms and enzymes as catalysts for organic synthesis, highlighting the advantages of these catalysts over conventional chemical catalysts in terms of selectivity, efficiency, and environmental effect. This study explains the major advantages of biocatalysis, such as its high selectivity, mild reaction conditions, efficiency, low environmental impact, and compatibility with renewable feedstocks, by looking at several case studies and experimental results. The importance of biocatalysis in advancing environmentally friendly and sustainable manufacturing processes is emphasized.
