Development of method for the mineral water catalase activity determination
Trudy Odesskogo Politehničeskogo Universiteta, 2015 Biological effects of mineral water depend not only on the chemical composition but also on the metabolic products of microbial cenosis. Among numerous microorganisms constituting the autochthonous microflora of mineral waters, we do evolve the ...

Cloning and characterization of a pectin lyase gene from Colletotrichum lindemuthianumand comparative phylogenetic/structural analyses with genes from phytopathogenic and saprophytic/opportunistic microorganisms [PDF]
BMC Microbiology, 2011 AbstractBackgroundMicroorganisms produce cell-wall-degrading enzymes as part of their strategies for plant invasion/nutrition. Among these, pectin lyases (PNLs) catalyze the depolymerization of esterified pectin by a β-elimination mechanism. PNLs are grouped together with pectate lyases (PL) in Family 1 of the polysaccharide lyases, as they share a ...
