Application

Application Comment Organism
nutrition enzyme may be practically applicable in removal of urethane from alcoholic beverages, because very high ethanol resistance, high activity at acidic condition, pH 5.0 and very low Km value for urethane Micrococcus sp.
nutrition great advantage for industrial removal of urethane, potentially carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic to human, from alcoholic beverages Micrococcus sp.
