Digestive enzymes and sphingomyelinase D in spiders without venom (Uloboridae) [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
Spiders have distinct predatory behaviours selected along Araneae’s evolutionary history but are mainly based on the use of venom for prey paralysis. Uloboridae spiders have lost their venom glands secondarily during evolution.

Uncovering the molecular mechanisms of lignocellulose digestion in shipworms [PDF]

Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2018
Lignocellulose forms the structural framework of woody plant biomass and represents the most abundant carbon source in the biosphere. Turnover of woody biomass is a critical component of the global carbon cycle, and the enzymes involved are of increasing

Digestive enzymes in Rhinolophus euryale (Rhinolophidae, Chiroptera) are active also during hibernation [PDF]

, 2017
During the winter, bats use hibernation as a means of surviving the period of low prey offer. However, the Mediterranean horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus euryale) arouses from torpor quite frequently.

Pactacin is a novel digestive enzyme in teleosts

Scientific Reports, 2021
Generally, animals extract nutrients from food by degradation using digestive enzymes. Trypsin and chymotrypsin, one of the major digestive enzymes in vertebrates, are pancreatic proenzymes secreted into the intestines.

A prospective, randomized, open-label, placebo-controlled comparative study of Bacillus coagulans GBI-30,6086 with digestive enzymes in improving indigestion in geriatric population

Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, 2020
Introduction: Digestive symptoms are common affecting more than 60% of the elderly people. Digestive enzyme deficiency and dysbiosis in the gastric fluid microbiota are the major contributors in the pathophysiology of indigestion.
