extracellular enzyme

Cell adhesion molecules involved in the process are first hydrolyzed by extracellular enzymes.

Members of the Lysobacter group have gained broad interest for production of extracellular enzymes.

They showed extracellular enzyme secreted by this bacteria capable of degrading the human hair in its native state.

Some organisms can exude extracellular enzymes that can act on the sequestered proteins.

Individuals benefit from aggregation as it allows accumulation of extracellular enzymes which are used to digest food, this in turn increases feeding efficiency.

The strain produces numerous extracellular enzymes that contribute to biocontrol activity, including multiple forms of β-1,3-glucanases and chitinases.

This staphylococcal species produces an extracellular enzyme complex that can inhibit growth of both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Examples of extracellular enzymes:

In prokaryotes, they are found both as intracellular and extracellular enzymes that are largely involved in nutrient acquisition.

The amino acids or sugars released by these extracellular enzymes are then pumped into cells by specific active transport proteins.

Most of the extracellular enzymes involved in polymer degradation in leaf litter and soil have been ascribed to fungi.

Extracellular enzyme production supplements the direct uptake of nutrients by microorganisms and is linked to nutrient availability and environmental conditions.

The varied chemical structure of organic matter requires a suite of extracellular enzymes to access the carbon and nutrients embedded in detritus.

Each microbial species carries specific combinations of genes for extracellular enzymes and is adapted to degrade specific substrates.

The mycelium secretes extracellular enzymes and acids that break down lignin and cellulose, the two main building blocks of plant fiber.

Several virulence factors contribute to the pathogenesis of GAS, such as M protein, hemolysins, and extracellular enzymes.

Grouped as hydrolases, lyases, oxidoreductases and transferases, these extracellular enzymes control soil enzyme activity through efficient degradation of biopolymers.

The second is that mutations in clp result in significant loss of extracellular enzyme activities and antimicrobial activity displayed by L. enzymogenes strain C3.

For example, beta-1,4-glucosidic bond linked cellulose can be converted to alpha-1,4-glucosidic bond linked starch by a mixture of intracellular and extracellular enzymes in one pot.

An exoenzyme, or extracellular enzyme, is an enzyme that is secreted by a cell and that works outside of that cell.

Formation of the Collagen Fibril: Lysyl oxidase an extracellular enzyme produces the final step in the collagen synthesis pathway.

For example, myxobacteria, moving in swarms, are able to maintain a high concentration of extracellular enzymes used to digest food, from which all the bacteria in the swarm benefit.

During the fermentation of natto soybeans, extracellular enzymes produced by the bacterium Bacillus natto react with soybean sugars to produce mucilage.

In other bacteria such as Erwinia carotovora the RsmA protein has been shown to regulate the production of virulence determinants, such extracellular enzymes.

Glutathione peroxidase 2 is an intestinal and extracellular enzyme, while glutathione peroxidase 3 is extracellular, especially abundant in plasma.
