What does a bladderwort plant ooze to dissolve bugs?

Digestive enzymes are the oozings that bladderwort plants use to dissolve bugs. The carnivorous plants in question (Utricaria spp) employ aminopeptidase and phosphatase in higher or lower levels with higher or lower pH readings according to ecosystems and to species. For example, trap fluid pH may range from an acidic 4.1 to an alkaline 7.3, and phosphatase tends to predominate among European species.
