Tannases, mainly produced by microorganisms, are able to hydrolyze gallotannins, ellagitannins, complex tannins, and gallic acid esters into gallic acid, ellagic acid, glucose, or alcohols, and also synthesize gallic acid esters using tannic acid or gallic acid with a variety of alcohols in nonaqueous media. Microbial tannases have been widely applied especially in beverage processing, pharmaceutics, and brewing. However, many factors, especially high production costs, severely limit the use of microbial tannases at the industrial level. In this minireview, we aim to provide an overview of the advances in applications of microbial tannases during the last 15 years, mainly including the following respects: hydrolysis of tea cream, modification of green tea catechins, production of gallic acid, debittering of fruit juices, degradation of tannery effluents, and synthesis of propyl gallate, trying to know the trends and prospects for the future in applications of microbial tannases.

The exorbitant production costs associated with natural tannases pose a significant challenge to their widespread industrial utilization. Microbial expression systems provide a cost-effective method for enzyme production. In this study, a putative gene encoding the subtype B tannase (Gt-Tan) was cloned from Galactobacillus timonensis and expressed heterologously in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) cells.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined how different diets, particularly those including cassava pellets and enzyme supplements, affect the growth and gut microbiota of broiler chicks.
- Results showed that a diet with 10% cassava pellets significantly improved weight gain and meat quality compared to a basic diet.
- The addition of cassava pellets also enhanced the microbial composition in the gut, indicating potential benefits for poultry health and productivity.

Background: The presence of inorganic pollutants and heavy metals in industrial effluents has become a serious threat and environmental issues. Fungi have a remarkable ability to exclude heavy metals from wastewater through biosorption in eco-friendly way. Tannase plays an important role in bioconversion of tannin, a major constituent of tannery effluent, to gallic acid which has great pharmaceutical applications.

Rumen microbiology has made a significant contribution to the discovery of biodegradation processes, which convert nutrients into energy for ruminants. Therefore, understanding the enzymatic potential in the rumen of different animal species is essential for developing efficient microbial feed additives. The aim of this study was to isolate enzyme-producing bacteria (EPBs) from the rumen of the Balochi camel () and Cashmere goat () as potential additives for animal feed.

Tannases are valuable industrial enzymes used in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, leather manufacture and in environmental biotechnology. In this study, 15 fungal isolates were obtained from Egyptian cultivated soil and marine samples. The isolated fungi were qualitatively and quantitatively screened for their abilities to produce tannase.
