Cellulase

StarStarStarStar

Used to convert cellulose into fermentable sugars in the production of biofuels.

StarStarStarStar

Chitinase

StarStarStarStar

Utilized in natural pest control by breaking down chitin in insect exoskeletons and fungal cell walls.

StarStarStarStar

Transaminase

StarStarStarStar

In the synthesis of biologically active compounds such as amino acids for use in agricultural products.

StarStarStarStar

Superoxide Dismutase

StarStarStarStar

Applied to enhance stress tolerance in plants against oxidative stress, improving crop yield and resilience.

StarStarStarStar

Protease

StarStarStarStar

Used in silage production to improve nutrient availability from proteinaceous materials.

StarStarStarStar

Phytase

StarStarStarStar

Added to animal feed to breakdown phytic acid, improving nutrient absorption and reducing environmental phosphorus pollution.

StarStarStarStar

Oxidase

StarStarStarStar

Used in the modification of plant characteristics, such as shelf life and stress resistance, via oxidative pathways.

StarStarStarStar

Pectinase

StarStarStarStar

Applied in fruit juice clarification, wine making, and extraction of plant oils and flavors.

StarStarStarStar

Amylase

StarStarStarStar

Facilitates the breakdown of starch into sugars during the malting process of beer production.

StarStarStarStar

Lipase

StarStarStarStar

Used in the dairy industry to enhance flavor development in cheeses and dairy products.

StarStarStarStar

Laccase

StarStarStarStar

Used in the detoxification of pesticides and industrial effluents in agriculture.

StarStarStarStar

Urease

StarStarStarStar

Applied to hydrolyze urea fertilizers, thereby improving nitrogen uptake by crops and reducing volatilization losses.

StarStarStarStar

Nitrilase

StarStarStarStar

Facilitates the bioconversion of nitriles into useful agricultural products such as amino acids or carboxylic acids.

StarStarStarStar

Glucanase

StarStarStarStar

Used in combination with other enzymes to enhance plant pathogen resistance and improve crop health.

StarStarStarStar

Beta-Glucosidase

StarStarStarStar

Enhances soil quality and promotes composting by aiding in the decomposition of cellulose and hemicellulose.
