What are the Applications of Metagenomics in Catalysis?
Metagenomics has several applications in the field of catalysis, including:
Bioremediation: Metagenomics helps in identifying microbial communities and enzymes capable of degrading environmental pollutants. Biofuel Production: Novel enzymes discovered through metagenomics can enhance the efficiency of biofuel production. Pharmaceuticals: Enzymes involved in the synthesis of complex pharmaceutical compounds can be discovered using metagenomic approaches. Industrial Catalysis: Metagenomics can lead to the discovery of enzymes that catalyze industrial processes more efficiently and sustainably.
