[Aminopeptidase activity in "Corynebacterium vaginale" (author's transl)].
Aminopeptidase activity can only be detected in significant amounts in Gram-negative bacteria with a test reaction using L-alanine-4-nitro-anilide as substrate. Corynebacterium vaginale show no aminopeptidase activity even after prolonged reaction times. This indicates surely that this microorganism is nt a Gram-negative bacteria.
