Nitrogen fixation<br />
• Reduction of nitrogen gas to ammonia<br />
• The Haber-Bosch process requires a temperature of<br />
400 o C and pressure of 200 atm<br />
• Or nitrogen-fixing bacteria can do it at normal<br />
temperatures and pressures<br />
Industrial <strong>Enzyme</strong>s<br />
• Most industrial enzymes are produced by microbes.<br />
• When possible, these enzymes are isolated from the<br />
cells for use.<br />
• Genetic engineering has become an important tool to<br />
improve industrial enzyme production.<br />
<strong>Enzyme</strong>s used in industry<br />
• Laundry detergent (proteases/lipases)<br />
• Baking and brewing industries (amylases)<br />
• Dairy industry (rennin)<br />
• Pharmaceuticals (digestive aids)
