Extracellular enzymes of Micropolyspora faeni found in moldy hay.

J Nicolet, E N Bannerman
PMCID: PMC415238  PMID: 1140854

Abstract

Fully active enzymes with chymotrypsic activity were demonstrated in moldy hay samples where Micropolyspora faeni was found as the predominant saprophyte by using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Great quantitative differences in enzymatic activity were found among moldy hay samples.
