132323Recombinant expression of animal and plant phospholipasesClosedFeasibility StudiesInnovate UKEnzymes are biological molecules that facilitate chemical reactions in living cells. Many products in the fine chemical, food, flavour & fragrance, pharmaceutical and biotherapeutic industries use enzymes in their manufacturing processes. The majority (more than 75%) of enzymes currently used in industrial processes are hydrolytic in action. Among these, lipases and phospholipases are the enzymes that are used for lipid modifications. Phospholipases represent a versatile biocatalyst in various industrial applications. This project is aimed at producing phospholipases in simple microbial production hosts using recent technological advances in molecular biology in order to produce unique enzymes for the industrial biocatalysis market.
