Persistence of microbial extracellular enzymes in soils under different temperatures and water availabilities [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Microbial extracellular enzyme activity (EEA) is critical for the decomposition of organic matter in soils. Generally, EEA represents the limiting step governing soil organic matter mineralization.

Bacterial Tradeoffs in Growth Rate and Extracellular Enzymes [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Like larger organisms, bacteria possess traits, or phenotypic characteristics, that influence growth and impact ecosystem processes. Still, it remains unclear how these traits are organized across bacterial lineages.

Potential Activities and Long Lifetimes of Organic Carbon-Degrading Extracellular Enzymes in Deep Subsurface Sediments of the Baltic Sea [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Heterotrophic microorganisms in marine sediments produce extracellular enzymes to hydrolyze organic macromolecules, so their products can be transported inside the cell and used for energy and growth. Therefore, extracellular enzymes may mediate the fate

Adsorption of extracellular enzymes by biochar: Impacts of enzyme and biochar properties
GeodermaExtracellular enzymes play a key role in mediating organic matter decomposition in soils and the mobility of enzymes is largely controlled by their interaction with soil surfaces. The introduction of pyrogenic products, including biochar produced for the

Extracellular Enzymes Produced by Marine Eukaryotes, Thraustochytrids
Bioscience, Biotechnology and Biochemistry, 2009 Extracellular enzymes produced by six strains of thraustochytrids, Thraustochytrium, Schizochytrium, and Aurantiochytrium, were investigated. These strains produced 5 to 8 kinds of the extracellular enzymes, depending on the species. Only the genus Thraustochytrium produced amylase.

Contribution of enzymes to soil quality and the evolution of research in Brazil
Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2021 Extracellular soil enzymes are fundamental for the functioning of ecosystems. Several processes in the soil depend on the activity of these enzymes, including plant decomposition, soil organic matter formation/mineralization, and nutrient cycling ...
