Answer 2

Answer:

Microbial catalysts are also known as bio-catalysts. Microbial catalysts are preferred over chemical catalysts for various reasons like: • Lesser byproducts are formed in case of microbial enzymes which means the cost of purification is minimised. 

∙ Microbial enzymes can function at low temperatures, pH and pressure, thus saving the energy. 

∙ Enzymes which are used in these processes can be reused as they do not decompose during these processes. 

∙ Use of enzymes also reduces the amount of environmental pollution.
