Abstract
  • The adaptation of marine organisms to a wide range of environmental conditions in the specific environment (temperature, salinity, tides, pressure, radiation, light, etc.) has made them an enormous reservoir of interesting biological material for both basic research and biotechnological improvements. This evolutionary richness and the knowledge of enzyme action including the comprehension of interactive effects of the environmental factors are of key importance to exploit marine biocatalyst's potential. On the top of that a marine enzyme may carry novel chemical and stereochemical properties, thus biocatalytically oriented studies (testing of suitable substrates, appropriate checking of reaction conditions, study of stereochemical asset of catalysis) should be performed to appropriately reveal this \"chemical biodiversity\" which increases interest for these enzymes. In this presentation, cases in point will be depicted for a comparison of enzymes from terrestrial and marine environments. Each case was selected for its importance related to biocatalysis, showing practical details to value the concept of potential usefulness of marine enzymes for organic chemists. From this analysis a foresight regarding the strategic potential of marine habitat is clear. Sustainability of collection methods and availability of commercial fresh organisms are two important aspects, also in relation to international policy on biodiversity. As early as scientific interest arise possibly the way to access useful biocatalysts should avoid destructive large-scale collections of marine biomass, then recombinant biocatalysts could be desirable and their preparation should be possible after gene identification.
