Enzymes - Enzymes have important applications in industry and these are produced by different microbes, mostly by fungi. A generalised scheme for microbial production of commercial enzyme.

Enzymes produced for industry include proteases, amylases, glucose isomerases, glucose oxidases, rennin, pectinases and lipases. Of these, proteases, glucamylase, alpha-amylase and glucose isomerase are produced extensively.
