 Microbes can produce enzymes that are highly active and stable at extreme temperatures, making them ideal candidates for industrial applications. Enzymes produced by these microbes, known as extremazymes, can catalyze chemical reactions under conditions that would otherwise be unsuitable for enzyme activity. This makes them a valuable resource for developing more efficient and sustainable industrial processes. This article was authored by Felipe E. Sarmiento, Rocio E. Peralta, Jenny M. Blaney and others.
