What Role Do Microbial Enzymes Play in Detoxification?
Microbial enzymes are pivotal in the detoxification of harmful chemicals. Enzymes such as dehydrogenases, oxidases, and hydrolases facilitate the breakdown of complex toxic compounds into simpler, less harmful molecules. These enzymatic activities are often harnessed in bioremediation efforts to accelerate the detoxification process. Understanding the specificity and efficiency of these enzymes is crucial for developing effective microbial-based detoxification systems.
