enzyme

Microorganisms are used for the prevention, treatment of infectious diseases of plants and increasing yields. Products based on a culture of microorganisms mankind use as an alternative to chemical pesticides and fungicides. In this work we consider Streptomyces as agents of biocontrol and plant growth stimulator as well as induced by their mechanisms, metabolic pathways. We experimentally proved antifungal, the antibacterial activity of Streptomyces isolates obtained from compost.

Reactions proceeding at ambient temperature very promptly and selectively, as it occurs in live organisms, imitation of the wildlife processes, and, eventually, study of mechanism of enzymes action are important challenges of contemporary chemistry. This short review gives information on recent achievements in the field of enzymatic catalysis of oxidation of hydrocarbons. The literature material was gathered using the Thomson Reuters electronic database (Web of Science) and mostly covers the last decades.
