Microorganisms have been used for the production of various enzymes, including inducible tannase for various industrial and environmental applications. Tannases have lot of potential to convert hydrolysable tannins to gallic acid, which is one of the important industrial and therapeutic significant molecules whose demand is over 10000 tons per year. Tannins invariably occur in angiosperms, gymnosperms and pteridophytes, and predominantly present in various parts of plants such as, leaves, roots, bark and fruit. Furthermore, tannery effluents are frequently loaded with significant levels of tannic acid. Tannase can be effectively used to decrease tannin load in the toxic tannery effluent thus providing the opportunity to minimize the operational cost. Over the past three decades, tannase from microbial sources has been proposed for the degradation of natural tannins. The availability of various agro-industrial residues paves a way for maximum utilization of tannase production for the degradation of tannin and eventually the production of gallic acid. In this review, an illustrative and comprehensive account on tannase from microbial source for current day applications is presented. The present review emphasises on up-to-date microbial sources of tannases, biochemical properties, optimization of tannase production in solid state and submerged fermentation and its industrial and environmental applications.

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
- Sgg is a gram-positive bacterium linked to infective endocarditis and colorectal cancer (CRC), thriving in the colorectal tumor environment.
- It has specialized features like pili for cell adhesion, bile salt hydrolase, and gallocin that help it grow in the bile-rich conditions typical of colorectal tumors.
- Sgg also affects oncogenic pathways, particularly the Wnt/β-catenin signaling, and promotes CRC progression by utilizing tumor metabolites and inducing harmful biotransformation in cancer 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.

In this study, the ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced skin photoaging inhibitory activity of pomegranate peel extract with increased ellagic acid content through enzymatic hydrolysis was evaluated in HaCaT cells. Among various enzymes, Viscozyme with high tannase and β-glucosidase activities was used, and 1.0 % Viscozyme was added to hydrolyze pomegranate peel for 2 h at 40°C to establish the optimal reaction conditions for high ellagic acid content.

Xerophilic fungi occupy versatile environments owing to their rich arsenal helping them successfully adapt to water constraints as a result of low relative humidity, high-osmolarity, and high-salinity conditions. The general term xerophilic fungi relates to organisms that tolerate and/or require reduced water activity, while halophilic and osmophilic are applied to specialized groups that require high salt concentrations or increased osmotic pressure, respectively. Species belonging to the family Aspergillaceae, and especially those classified in Aspergillus subgenus Aspergillus (sections Restricti and Aspergillus) and Polypaecilum, are particularly enriched in the group of osmophilic and salt-tolerant filamentous fungi.
