pubmed-article:7411115 | pubmed:abstractText | Aminopeptidase activity was demonstrated in extracts of Acholeplasma laidlawii, Mycoplasma bovirhinis, M. bovis and M. dispar. The enzyme specificity, which differed amongst the mycoplasma species examined, was characterized using 19 aminoacyl-beta-naphthylamides as substrates. The differences were detected after 4 h incubation with the substrates and potentially could be employed to aid in the characterization of certain mycoplasma species. | lld:pubmed |
