Esterases and lipases are widely used as industrial enzymes. The
industrial demand for both increased constantly over the last 20
years. In 2000 the market value of lipoyltic enzymes was US $ 90
millions which represent around 7% of the whole enzymes market
value. They are used in various commercial applications such as
therapeutic, diagnostic and analytical reagents and as catalysts in
different industries e.g. dairy, paper, cosmetics, synthesis of
chiral drugs etc. The demand for esterases and lipases for
industrial applications is increasing; therefore we need to find
new enzymes with interesting catalytic properties. Because of their
rich secondary metabolism, Streptomyces species offer a relatively
untapped source of interesting esterases and lipases. In this book
we show how we can use the information obtained from genome
projects to search for enzymes of novel activity, which can act as
a good candidate for industrial applications.
