Sources of Enzymes
Biologically active enzymes may be extracted from any living organism: Of the hundred enzymes being used industrially, - over a half are from fungi - over a third are from bacteria with the remainder divided between animal (8%) and plant (4%) sources .
Sources f Enzymes
Microbes are preferred to plants and animals as sources of enzymes because: - They are generally cheaper to produce.
