Persistence of bacterial proteolytic enzymes in lake ecosystems

Proteolytic enzymes.

Leipner, J. and R. Saller (2000). "Systemic enzyme therapy in oncology: effect and mode of action." Drugs 59(4): 769-80. Plant extracts with a high content of proteolytic enzymes have been used for a long time in traditional medicine. Besides proteolytic enzymes from plants, 'modern' enzyme therapy additionally includes pancreatic enzymes. The therapeutic use of proteolytic enzymes is partly ba...

Fungi in lake ecosystems

This review highlights the presence and ecological roles of fungi in lakes, and aims to stimulate research in aquatic mycology. In the study of lentic systems, this field is an almost completely neglected topic and, if considered at all, has often been restricted to specific groups of fungi, such as yeasts, filamentous fungi (e.g. aquatic hyphomycetes), or phycomycetes (an obsolete taxonomic ca...

Proteolytic enzymes of lung.

The lung usually is considered to be a passive tissue whose main function is to permit gaseous diffusion to and from the blood; however, the lung is also an organ of defense. Its phagocytes remove inhaled dust particles and bacteria. A considerable part of the lung parenchyma consists of mononuclear phagocytes and potential mononuclear phagocytes. Since these cells are not readily available in ...
