Meanings
- uncountableThe quality or state of being thermophilic.
1 more example
However, most xylanases reported to date are active and stable at mesophilic temperatures and neutral or weakly acidic pH. Investigators have carried out much research on the thermophilicity of family 11 xylanases, which can contribute to improving the thermophilicity of mesophilic enzymes for industrial applications.
