Abstract
Studies were performed on the occurrence of proteolytic, amylolytic and pectolytic bacteria in water and mud of the eutrophic lake Jeziorak and the mesotrophic lake Jasne. The above bacteria were more numerous in the eutrophic lake. A higher activity of proteolytic enzymes was noted in strains from the eutrophic lake but with higher amylolytic activity in the mesotrophic one. Endopolygalacturonase activity was noted to be higher in strains originating from the mesotrophic lake and of exopolygalacturonases activity in those from the eutrophic lake.
