Abstract

"White Biotechnology," as it's known. The molecular tools developed by White Biotechnology are enzymes that catalyze certain activities inside living cells. When operating in an aquatic environment or under mild reaction conditions, enzymes are renowned for having high substrate specificity as well as enantioselectivity. And White Biotechnology uses microorganisms and enzymes to make a variety of chemical substances.White Biotechnology uses microorganisms and enzymes to manufacture a large variety of chemical products. Therefore, the demand for new and useful biocatalysts is steadily and rapidly increasing. We have developed methods for the isolation of new enzyme genes, constructed novel expression systems, and optimized existing enzymes for biotechnological applications by methods of directed evolution. Furthermore, we have isolated and characterized biocatalysts relevant for the preparation of enantiopure compounds.
