title: Bioprospects of Microbial Enzymes from Mangrove-Associated Fungi and Bacteria.
abstract: Mangroves ecosystem provides the unique habitat for the colonization of fungi and bacteria. Interestingly, the enzymes derived from mangroves associated microorganisms have enormous economic value in industries of agriculture, pulp, paper, medicine, sewage treatments, etc. Microbial enzyme activity is required for the metabolism of plants and animals. In addition, the enzymes are also involved in aquatic animal food cycle and degradation of mangroves detritus. However, the understanding of current status of mangroves associated microorganism-derived enzymes and its application is required to improve the future omics studies. Therefore, this chapter is summarizing the current reports and application on enzymes derived from mangroves associated bacteria and fungi.
