Abstract
On the gastrointestinal bacteria related to nutrition, there have been many important publications. Recently, the present author has attempted further researches on Aerobacter mannanolyticus suzu-II, a strain in the type cultures collected by N. Inoue in this laboratory from human gastrointestinal tract, and the enzyme specificity was studied. The isolation of the "Konjac" mannan decomposing enzyme preparation was completely successful, and effects of carbon and nitrogen sources in Koser s citrate medium on the enzyme formation were also confirmed. In the present paper, the results are described.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
