Cold-adapted bacterial lipolytic enzymes and their applications

Abstract

Lipolytic enzymes, esterases and lipases catalyze the hydrolysis and transesterification of fatty acid esters. This class of enzymes is the most important group of biocatalysts for biotechnological applications. From this perspective, coldactive lipolytic enzymes from cold adapted bacteria display attractive properties for some industrial purposes, including high catalytic activity at low temperatures and low thermostability. To date, such enzymes were isolated from Pseudoalteromonas sp. 643A, Pseudomonas sp. B11-1, Psychrobacter sp. C18, Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis TAC125,Pseudomonas mandelii, Sorangium cellulosumSo157-2,Psychrobacter sp. Ant300, Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), Pseudoalteromonas arctic, Pseudomonas sp. 7323 and characterized. In summary, cold-active lipolytic enzymes are promising biocatalysts for organic synthesis and as enzymatic additives in cleaning agents.
