Abstract
Abstract Esterase enzymes derived from various Staphylothermus, Pyrodictium, Archaeoglobus, Aquifex, M11TL, Thermococcus, Teredinibacter and Sulfolobus organisms are disclosed. The enzymes are produced from native or recombinant host cells and can be utilized in the pharmaceutical, agricultural and other industries.
