Your gut microbes play a major role in how well you absorb nutrients, explaining why identical diets produce very different results.

With the current drive towards production of alternative fuels from plant material, enzymes which can break down this material into useable compounds are required in industrial quantities and at a low ...

Researchers from the Cluster of Excellence Balance of the Microverse at the University of Jena and the Leibniz-HKI, together ...

For decades, researchers thought that wood-feeding insects relied entirely on their helpful microbes to break down the tough cell walls of plants. Recently, cellulase, an enzyme that digests the cell ...

(Nanowerk News) The jeans you wear, the orange juice you drink, the laundry detergent you use: None would be possible without the activity of enzymes. Currently the enzymes used in industry are ...
