enzyme

The bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes disease in human hosts leading to 
sepsis and even death in part by secreting lipases (proteins that break down lipids) 
into cellular environments. The protein ExoU is a phospholipase produce by particularly 
virulent strains of P. aeruginosa. Benson et al. (2009) measured of ExoU enzymatic 
activity under varying levels of the fluorescent phospholipase substrate PED6.
