Marine microbial enzymes have wide applications in bioindustries. Selection of microorganisms for enzyme production at the industrial level requires good yield and high production rate. A number of enzymes such as amylase, caseinase, lipase, gelatinase, and DNases have been discovered from microbes isolated from extreme marine environments. Such enzymes are thermostable, tolerant to a varied range of pH and other harsh conditions required in industrial applications. Novelty in their structure and characteristics has shown promising scope to the researchers in academia and industry. In this chapter, we present a bird's eye view on recent research works in the field of enzyme production from marine origin as well as their potential biological applications relevant to human health.
海洋微生物酶在生物产业中有着广泛的应用。在工业层面选择用于酶生产的微生物需要有良好的产量和高生产率。已经从极端海洋环境中分离出的微生物里发现了许多酶，如淀粉酶、酪蛋白酶、脂肪酶、明胶酶和脱氧核糖核酸酶。这类酶具有热稳定性，能耐受工业应用中所需的各种不同pH值和其他恶劣条件。它们在结构和特性方面的新颖性已向学术界和产业界的研究人员展现出了广阔的前景。在本章中，我们将对海洋来源酶生产领域的近期研究工作及其与人类健康相关的潜在生物学应用进行简要概述。
