Non-aqueousmedia appeared to be a promising alternative as an environment for the reactions catalyzed by enzymes. The possibility of carrying out enzymatic processesin such unusual milieus enlarged the range of applications of biocatalysis, andsolved many problems witnessed by pharmaceutical, food and chemical industries. The paper describes both advantages and disadvantages of non-conventional media, and presents the examples of practical uses of selected enzymes(lipases, proteases, oxidoreductases, glycosidases) in these systems. The detailson medium composition and the form of the biocatalyst are included.}, type={Text}, title={Selected issues of non-conventional enzymology Part II - Characterization of reaction media and biocatalysts applied in non-conventional enzymology}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/Content/133289/PDF/POZN271_167970_biotechnologia-2003-no3-antczak.pdf}, keywords={biotechnology}, }
