Bio-manufacturing uses enzyme reactions to produce compounds that serve as materials such as pharmaceuticals, foods, fibers, and plastics. It is conducted using aqueous solvents under normal temperature and pressure conditions, as compared to conventional chemical reactions using petroleum-derived organic solvents under high temperature and pressure conditions. For this reason, bio-manufacturing draws attention as a next-generation technology that can be to reduce utility costs and environmental impacts such as waste liquid treatment. Further improvement of enzyme function is important for the industrial use of enzymes.
