Studies on Acylase Activity and Microorganisms. XX. Isolation of Soil Bacteria Capable of Resolving Tryptophan by their Acylase on N-Acetyl-DL-tryptophan

Abstract

Two strains (KT 251 and KT 253) of bacteria capable of resolving tryptophan by their acylase on N-acetyl-DL-tryptophan were isolated from soil samples by using a synthetic medium containing N-acetyl-DL-tryptophan as the sole source of carbon. Both. KT 251 and KT 253 could be cultivated in various synthetic media.
