Kollagenrika restprodukter kan användas i värdefulla livsmedels- och läkemedelsprodukter. Enzymatisk behandling tillåter kontrollerad och effektiv nedbrytning. I det här projektet har metoder utvecklats och testats för produktion av enzymer i bakterier. Kollagen är det vanligaste proteinet i däggdjur. Proteinet finns i ben, vävnader och senor och ger mekanisk stabilitet och styrka. Den kompakta sIn this thesis eight enzymes have been identified with documented ability to degrade collagen or its hydrolyzed products. Collagen can be found in skin, bones, and connective tissue. Hydrolyzed collagen peptides are utilized in food, disease treatment, skincare and training supplements. The studied enzymes are: Clostridium histolyticum collagenases ColG and ColH, Grimontia hollisae collagenase, Ba
