Danisco to research enzymes
from snakes, spiders
The Danish Council for Strategic Research has awarded
Danisco, Copenhagen, Denmark, a grant of DKK24 million ($4.4 million) to look into
the nature of enzymes derived
from snakes, spiders and carnivorous plants. The four-year
project will seek to find the best
enzymes that potentially may
be used in such areas as food
ingredients, detergents and animal nutrition.
"When a spider catches a fly
in its web, it injects digestive
enzymes into its prey to liquefy
it," said Charlotte Poulsen, in
Genencor Enzyme Development
for Danisco. "This makes it easy for the spider to devour
the fly. The digestive enzymes are highly effective, and
we are very keen on looking into the dynamics of these
enzymes."
