Diverse origins of fibrinolytic enzymes: A comprehensive review

mycolabadmin

Blood clots can cause heart attacks and strokes, which are major causes of death worldwide. Currently used clot-dissolving drugs have significant drawbacks including short effectiveness periods and side effects. This review examines how fibrinolytic enzymes—naturally occurring proteins that dissolve blood clots—can be obtained from various sources, especially fermented foods like Japanese natto. These enzymes show promise as safer, cheaper alternatives that could be produced in large quantities for treating cardiovascular diseases.

Evaluation of cellulase production by endophytic fungi isolated from young and mature leaves of medicinal plants using maize cob substrate

mycolabadmin

This research studied beneficial fungi living inside the leaves of medicinal plants (neem and aloe) to see if they could produce cellulase enzymes, which are used in many industries. Scientists isolated 11 different fungi from plant leaves and tested their ability to break down corn cobs (agricultural waste) to produce these useful enzymes. Two fungi species – G. candidum and C. stellimalicola – were found to be the best enzyme producers, suggesting they could be used commercially to make cellulase enzymes in a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way.
