| Other characteristics thought to be critical to pathogenesis are adhesiveness to host cells, secretion of degradative enzymes, and interactions with the immune system. |
| Most represent degradative enzyme deficiencies, but some of the genes encode transport, stabilizer, or activator proteins. |
| These facts have focused the need for research and instigated an investigation of jute as a unique fabric with inherent degradative properties. |
| Successful model development should also enhance industrial applications of degradative bacteria for ground water remediation at field scale. |
| Similarly, the degradative enzymes needed for the intracellular digestion of unwanted macromolecules are confined to the lysosomes. |
| Senescence is the period when chemical synthesizing pathways give way to degradative processes, leading to aging and death of tissue. |
