Phytase, a New Life for an “Old” Enzyme

Abstract: Phytases are phosphohydrolytic enzymes that initiate stepwise removal of phosphate from phytate. Simple-stomached species such as swine, poultry, and fish require extrinsic phytase to digest phytate, the major form of phosphorus in plant-based feeds. Consequently, this enzyme is supplemented in these species' diets to decrease their phosphorus excretion, and it has emerged as one of the most effective and lucrative feed additives. This chapter provides a comprehensive review of the evolving course of phytase s… Show more

“…Bacterial phytases can either be genetically introduced into crops or supplied to soil as Overall, the development of transgenic plants expressing recombinant phytases (perhaps, induced by phosphate starvation) is often viewed as a promising route to solving problems of soil phosphorus availability and increasing the efficiency of phosphate nutrition in plants [24]. However, potentially encouraging breakthroughs in this area are often limited or stymied due to mistrust of consumers, prohibitive legislation in many countries, as well as still substantial technological limitations.…”

“…Phytase is an enzyme that hydrolyses the phosphate esters present on phytate [14]. The global phytase market was evaluated to be worth $350 million annually and accounts for more than 60 % of the total feed enzyme market in 2010 [15]. This year, the global feed enzyme business is now worth close to $1 billion per year, with the phytase market being in the region of $550-600 million.…”

“…Phytases (myo-inositol 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakisphosphate phosphohydrolase) are a special group of phosphatases which catalyzes the stepwise removal of phosphates from phytic acid (myo-inositol 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakisphosphate; IP 6 ) or its salt phytate (Lei et al 2013). It is, therefore, useful in various applications, e.g.…”

“…Phytases are widely distributed among plants and microbial cells (Hegeman and Grabau 2001;Kumar et al 2013;Singh et al 2014;Lei et al 2013). To develop a suitable phytase for above applications and better understand the catalytic mechanism of diverse groups of phytases, large number of such organisms has been studied in detail for their phytase gene sequences and biochemical properties.…”
