Abstract
Psychrophilic microorganisms produce a variety of cold-active enzymes which are used as production accelerators at commercial level to cope increasing demands necessitating low temperature conditions. The psychrophilic enzymes are frequently employed in food processing, textile, detergents, feed stocks, bioremediation, cosmetics, paper and pharmaceutical industries. But being extermophilic in nature, psychrophiles have certain pH, ionic strength and temperature limitation. To overcome such issues, their molecular biology and beneficial genetic engineering approaches are current goals of researchers. In this regard, many successful studies have accomplished importance of cold-active enzymes at industrial level. This review summarizes applications of potential psychrozymes
