Nitrogen catabolite repression of the L-asparaginase of Bacillus licheniformis.

K J Golden, R W Bernlohr
PMCID: PMC214345  PMID: 4055702

Abstract

We report the presence of a single L-asparagine aminohydrolase activity (EC 3.5.1.1) in extracts of Bacillus licheniformis A5. The synthesis of the enzyme was apparently under nitrogen catabolite repression control.
