Abstract
Extracts prepared from 10 bacteria-free algal cultures and 4 naturally occurring seaweeds were examined for urease and ATP-urea amidolyase (UAL-ase) activities. UAL-ase activity is confined to members of the classes Volvocales, Chlorococcales and Chaetophorales in the Chlorophyceae. Members of the Ulotrichales may possess either urease or UAL-ase. Ulva contains urease. All other algae, so far examined, which can grow with urea as nitrogen source contain urease but not UAL-ase.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
