Abstract
The whole viable Mycoplasma gallisepticum (strain TT) organisms were found to possess neuraminidase activity with a pH optimum of 5.8 on substrates such as human transferrin, human α1-glycoprotein, and rabbit serum. The enzyme operated optimally at pH 4.5 when N-acetylneuraminyl-lactose was used as the test substrate.Keywords
