  • Hydrolysable tannins are the main source for bacterial tannase production.

  • The major tannase producing species are Bacillus sp., Lactobacillus and Klebsiella.

  • Orthogonal Arrays are an efficient tool for the optimization process of bacterial tannase production.

  • Similarities on tannase gene expression in different bacterial strains have been demonstrated.
