Answer 1

Answer:

Microbial enzymes are used instead of chemical catalyst in chemical industry.

Answer 2

Answer:

Microbial catalysts are also known as biocatalysts. 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 minimized.

• 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  not during these processes.

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