Large scale Enzyme applications 1. Detergents Bacterial proteinases are still the most important detergent enzymes. Lipases decompose fats into more water-soluble compounds. Amylases are used in detergents to remove starch based stains. 2. Starch hydrolysis and fructose production The use of starch degrading enzymes was the first large scale application of microbial enzymes in food industry. Mainly two enzymes carry out conversion of starch to glucose: alpha-amylase and fungal enzymes

infections (Alonzo‚ 2014‚ p. 190). When an antimicrobial is effective against just Gram-positive‚ just Gram-negative or only a few species of microbes it is a narrow-spectrum antibiotic. Some examples of common narrow-spectrum antimicrobials are penicillin G‚ clindamycin‚ and gentamicin. Narrow-spectrum antibiotics are the preferred method of treatment due to them being less destructive to the body’s normal flora (Alonzo‚ 2014‚ p. 190). However‚ narrow-spectrum antimicrobial agents are not effective

ones are the ones that can relate back to human health and wellbeing. Arguably the greatest discovery ever made was when penicillin was created. This medicine was first tested on mice that were infected with staphylococci. Once the penicillin was given to the mice in a matter of days the mice were cured of any type of infection. After this test was successfully executed penicillin was introduced for human use and was used to cure many other types of diseases. Many of the discoveries made by companies
