Title: Isolation and selection of an L-aminoacylase-producing bacterium, Pseudomonas sp. BA2
Abstract: The enrichment culture method was used to detect and isolate L-aminoacylase-producing bacteria from soil, using N-acetyl-L-alanine as inducer and substrate. Isolated bacterial strains were screened for growth and enzyme activity. Strain BA2 displayed both the highest intracellular L-aminoacylase activity and the most profuse growth. Furthermore, BA2 cells did not show any D-aminoacylase activity. This strain was an obligately aerobic rod-shaped bacterium and stained Gram-negative, and was therefore identified as Pseudomonas. Its morphological and biochemical characteristics corresponded to those of Pseudomonas fluorescens biovar I.
