Immobilized Enzymes/Bacteria for Naval Applications - Initial Data Base.

Abstract

Biotechnology and particularly enzyme technology, is a rapidly growing, high-potential area for research and development. In particular, immobilization of biocatalysts had been found useful. To date, this technology has been applied in the food, pharmaceutical, and related industries. However, naval applications can also be envisioned, despite the environmental difficulties present in military scenarios. Evaluation of enzyme and biotechnology for naval applications is therefore required. This report describes the first phase of a program to survey potential Naval applications of immobilized biocatalysts. This report includes a general classification of the literature, an initial survey, a report on computerization of the data base, and specific reports on possible Naval applications. (Author)
