Abstract: Lysine decarboxylase (L-lysine carboxy-lyase, E.C. 4.1.1.18) was discovered and partially purified from Bacterium cadaveris and Escherichia coli by Gale and his coworker (Gale and Epps, 1944; Gale, 1945). Despite the wide-spread use of this enzyme for the manometric determination of L-lysine, it has not been enzymologically well-characterized. This communication describes the purification, crystallization and some of the properties of lysine decarboxylase from Bacterium cadaveris.
