Scientific interest in microbial enzymes in biotechnology. Relative increase in scientific publications since 1990. The numbers were obtained from the Pubmed database using the names of the microbial groups (viruses, fungi, or bacteria), plus enzymes plus biotechnology. A total of 112,240 results were obtained. Relative increase was calculated by comparing the number of publications in a given year with the publication number in 1990, the first year of the historical record. * Data as of 12 September 2022.
