Nuove carbossilesterasi microbiche. Caratterizzazione ed applicazioni per la produzione di molecole di interesse agroalimentare e zootecnico

Two new biocatalyst-tool have been studied: starting from interesting whole-cell application in the agro, food and zootechnical field, the hydrolytic activity was related to two carboxylesterases that have been purified until electrophoretic omogeneity. The enzyme from Kluyveromyces marxianus CBS 1553 was also studied from catalytic and biochemical point of view: the overall activity and stability over a wide range of condition indicate that this enzyme has the potential to be exploited in biotechnological applications.
