Database of lignocellulose‐degrading enzymes from fungi
https://mycoclap.fungalgenomics.ca/mycoCLAP/
This database focuses on fungal, and some bacterial, enzymes that have activity against lignocellulose materials. Many of those enzymes are secreted from their respective microbial host.
Peptidase database
http://merops.sanger.ac.uk/cgi-bin/name_index?id=P;action=A
This database focuses on protease and peptidase enzymes. Many microbes living in soil environments secrete proteases to break down proteins into amino acids and peptides that can be transported into the cell.

Phytase secretion by Bacillus subtilis
http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/09168451.2015.1046366
Phytases are industrially important enzymes for their ability to release phosphate from phytic acid. This study explores its secretion by a Bacillus strain.
Secretion of a thermostable amylase
http://www.nature.com/articles/srep22229
An amylase from Pyrococcus furiosus is significant industrially because of its stability at high temperatures and low pH. It is shown here to be secreted by a Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain.
Protein secretion by Pichia pastoris review
