Enzymatic activities of Legionella pneumophila and Legionella-like organisms

F S Nolte et al. J Clin Microbiol. 1982 Jan.

Abstract

The API ZYM system was used to investigate enzymatic activities of Legionella pneumophila and other Legionella-like organisms. Leucine aminopeptidase, alkaline and acid phosphatase, butyrate and caprylate esterase, and phosphoamidase activities were consistently detected in all strains tested. No evidence of myristate lipase, trypsin, chymotrypsin, or glycosidase activity was found.
