Enzymes have applications in many fields, including organic synthesis, clinical analysis, pharmaceuticals, detergents, food production and fermentation. The application of enzymes to organic synthesis is currently attracting more and more attention. The discovery of new microbial enzymes through extensive and persistent screening will open new, simple routes for synthetic processes and, consequently, new ways to solve environmental problems.
