Hydrolytic enzyme production is typical of the autolysis in filamentous fungi; however, less attention has been given to the physiological role of the enzymes. Here, the aim was to investigate the possible relation of the chitinolytic enzymes to the changes in the biomass in some filamentous fungi of high importance for pharmaceutical or food industry. In Penicillium and Aspergillus filamentous...

We report a case Boerhaave's syndrome complicated by a large bronchopleural fistula due to autolysis of lung parenchyma by gastric contents, a complication not previously documented to our knowledge.

Abstract To investigate the effects of maternal nutritional plane and selenium (Se) level on offspring muscle development in first parity ewes, Rambouillet ewes (n = 84) were stratified by BW randomized to receive diets formulated contain adequate Se (ASe) or high (HSe) initiated at breeding. On d 40 gestation, assigned randomly within treatments supply 60% (RES), 100% (CON), 140% (HI) NRC requ...
