LIPOLYTIC, PECTOLYTIC, AND ALGINOLYTIC ACTIVITIES OF ENTEROBACTERIACEAE

B R DAVIS et al. J Bacteriol. 1964 Jul.

Abstract

Davis, B. R. (Communicable Disease Center, Atlanta, Ga.), and W. H. Ewing. Lipolytic, pectolytic, and alginolytic activities of Enterobacteriaceae. J. Bacteriol. 88:16-19. 1964.-Of 2,262 cultures of Enterobacteriaceae tested, only cultures of Enterobacter liquefaciens (Aerobacter liquefaciens), Serratia, Proteus vulgaris, and P. mirabilis gave evidence of lipolytic activities. None of the cultures liquefied pectate or alginate. The value of tests for these activities in diagnostic work with Enterobacteriaceae, and in defining the limits of that family, is discussed.
