Session 20: Industrially Relevant Enzymes
Wednesday, July 23, 2014: 8:30 AM-11:30 AM
Regency Ballroom A, Second Floor (St. Louis Hyatt Regency at the Arch)
Conveners:
Rajesh K. Sani - South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, Rapid City, SD and Bhupinder Singh Chadha - Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar,
The session on industrially relevant enzymes will include ongoing and recent advances on several aspects of isolation and high throughput screening of novel isolates and genes from metagenomic libraries, system biotechnology approaches (e.g., genomic and transcriptomic analysis), advanced techniques for modulating the expression as well as properties of industrially important genes/enzymes, and cloning and over-expression of enzymes in various hosts. In addition, the session will address the issues related to production of enzymes at industrial level, production of enzymes from extremophiles, and development of enzymes for bioconversions, environmental, and specialized applications.
