ABSTRACT

Fermentative systems have allowed the production and the recovery of a great variety of enzymes. The design of bioprocesses to produce enzymes of importance in diverse industrial areas has been possible by means the use of the existing microbial richness and the abilities of these to grow in different substrates such is the case of the enzyme invertase and lipase. This chapter describes fermentation systems to produce these enzymes, as well as a detailed analysis of their reaction mechanisms, characterization, and their current and potential uses.
