BACTERIAL NUCLEOTIDASES

Queen Mary's Hospital, and Postgraduate Medical School, London, England

ABSTRACT

KOHN, J. (Queen Mary's Hospital, London, England) AND J. L. REIS. Bacterial nucleotidases. J. Bacteriol. 86:713–716. 1963.—The 3- and 5- nucleotidase activity in various bacterial species was investigated. Both enzymes were found in bacterial extracts in varying proportions. The nucleotidases were found to be very active in Proteus vulgaris, in which organism they were studied in detail. The relative activities, the pH optima, and the effect of metal ions were investigated. It was concluded that bacterial 3- and 5-nucleotidases are distinct and separate enzymes.
