Some comparatively now and valuable agents for the manufacture of enzymes for pharmaceutical and industrial application are revealed in report P B 65,695 (mimeo graphed, $1.00; 3S pages). The sources of some of the enzymes were found to be unique, and warrant the attention of American industry. Processing methods for the manufacture of the following enzymes are described in detail: Protease, Pectinase, Pancreatic amylase, Clauden, Sanarthrit, Telatuten, and Luizymc. In another report wartime developments and activities of some of Germany's lead ing pharmaceutical manufacturers and re search· laboratories are described. P B
