Extracellular Enzyme Activity in Eutrophic and Polyhumic Lakes

  • Chapter
Microbial Enzymes in Aquatic Environments

Part of the book series: Brock/Springer Series in Contemporary Bioscience ((BROCK/SPRINGER))

Abstract

For many years, the synthesis, secretion, and activity of extracellular enzymes of different organisms have been intensively studied by workers in many different disciplines, such as applied microbiology, biotechnology, biochemistry, and medicine (Pollock, 1962; Priest, 1977; 1984; Kreutzberg et al., 1986; Chaloupka and Krumphanzl, 1987). In aquatic sciences, the first reports on extracellular enzymes were written in middle of the 1960s (Overbeck and Babenzien, 1964; Reichardt et al., 1967; Kim and ZoBell, 1974). However, in the last decade, interest has increased in the role of microbial extracellular enzymes in natural aquatic environments.
