Eight non-essential amino acids contained in Japanese animal foods were determined microbiologically. The hydrolysis and other conditions were the same as those of the previous report, and as test organisms Leuconostoc mesenteroides P-60 was employed for the determination of most of the amino acids, except for alanine which was determined by using Leuconostoc citrovorum 8081.
The results of the assay were found to be approximate to the figures of the literature.
