Screening and Immobilization of Interfacial Esterases from Marine Invertebrates as Promising Biocatalyst Derivatives.

Interfacial esterases are useful enzymes in bioconversion and racemic mixture resolution processes. Marine invertebrates are few explored potential sources of these proteins. In this work, aqueous extracts of 41 species of marine invertebrates were screened for esterase, lipase, and phospholipase A activities, being all positive.
