An Overview on Microbial Phytase and Its Biotechnological Applications

چکیده
Phytic acid, the main storage form of phosphorous in plants cannot be digested by monogastric animals and is excreted into environment. This compound also has antinutritional effect due to its negative charge which makes it able to chelate minerals and organic elements like calcium, iron, zinc and amino acids to provoke malnutrition. Alarming increase in eutrophication and cost of supplementation of feed has necessitated a need to look for alternative solution to overcome these problems. Phytase enzymes have been considered for degradation of phytate content in feed stuff. Another approach is expression of microbial phytase gene in crops to reduce the phytate content without increasing fodder cost. The aim of this paper is to provide recent development with regard to phytic acid, its structure and biosynthesis, antinutritional and environmental effects, microbial phytase enzyme as a bioresource for food supplementation of non-ruminants and expression of microbial phytase gene in plants.

Phytases are hydrolytic enzymes that initiate the release of phosphate from phytate In recent years the application of the phytase enzyme have been studied intensively. Phytase enzymes have a wide distribution in plants, microorganisms, and in some animal tissues. Many strategies have been developed for improving phosphate and mineral availability in feed. However in recent years, expression of...

From the last few years, the inclusion of microbial phytase in poultry diets has increased significantly, mainly in response to heightened concerns over phosphorus pollution of the environment and as cheaper means to make phosphorus available to birds from phytate. Phytate is the major form of phosphorus, abundantly found in cereal grains, beans and oilseed meals used in poultry diet but the mo...

While the microbial degradation of a chloroxyanion-based herbicide was first observed nearly ninety years ago, only recently have researchers elucidated the underlying mechanisms of perchlorate and chlorate [collectively, (per)chlorate] respiration. Although the obvious application of these metabolisms lies in the bioremediation and attenuation of (per)chlorate in contaminated environments, a d...

Microbial phytases were applied mainly to animal and human foodstuffs in order to improvemineral bioavailability and food processing. In addition, phytases have potentialbiotechnological application in various other fields, such as environmental protection,aquaculture and agriculture. Bacillus sp. DM12, an isolate from a hot spring, produces phytase,which catalyzes the hydrolysis of phytic acid...
