Abstract
Cell free extracts of a pseudomonad strain 2Rcc-l synthesize glycine from alanine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, asparagine and glutamine by transamination with glyoxylic acid. Asparagine and glutamine also undergo deamidation, forming ammonia. The transamination reactions are pyridoxal phosphate dependent, requiring 20 [mu]/ml for full activity. The optimum pH range for activity is from 8 to 9.Keywords
