Abstract
Summary: The present study identifies proline-specific peptidases found inStreptococcus cremorisAM2. These activities were present prcdominantly in the cytoplasmic fraction of the cells with minor amounts in cell membrane fraction. No evidence vvas found for such activities in either the extracellular fluid used to grow the cells, in the wash fraction or in the cell wall fraction. The involvement of these enzymes in release of free proline from proline-containing peptides is considered.Keywords
