conclusions we found a marked increase in the incidence of non-albicans species (48.2%) among neutropenic patients. only a few strains failed to produce extracellular enzymes. finally, in addition to fluconazole, caspofungin can be considered as the first line treatment against candida species among neutropenic patients. results a total of 110 yeast strains isolated from urine and oral cavities...

the distribution of extracellular enzyme activities in particle-size fractions of sediments was investigated in a subtropical mangrove ecosystem. five enzymes involved in carbon (c), nitrogen (n), and phosphorus (p) cycling were analyzed in the sand, silt, and clay of sediments. among these fractions, the highest activities of phenol oxidase (pho), β-d glucosidase (glu), and n-acetyl-glucosimin...

Extracellular soil enzymes are fundamental for the functioning of ecosystems. Several processes in depend on activity these enzymes, including plant decomposition, organic matter formation/mineralization, and nutrient cycling. Moreover, extracellular enzyme occurs is therefore influenced by environmental factors. Due to high sensitivity factors, used monitoring quality. This review aimed presen...

Many studies reported that redox enzymes, particularly thioredoxin and peroxiredoxin, can be released by cells act as soluble mediators in immunity. Recently, it became clear peroxiredoxins secreted via the exosome-release route, yet remains unclear how this exactly happens why. This review will first introduce briefly possible states of protein cysteines role enzymes their regulation. We then ...

All strains of Legionella pneumophila tested produced detectable levels of extracellular protease, phosphatase, lipase, deoxyribonuclease, ribonuclease, and beta-lactamase activity. Weak starch hydrolysis was also demonstrated for all strains. Elastase, collagenase, phospholipase C, hyaluronidase, chondroitinase, neuraminidase, or coagulase were not detected in any of these laboratory-maintaine...
