title: [Biosynthesis of L-asparaginase-2 by cultures of Bacillus polymyxa var. Ross].
abstract: Cell extracts of Bacillus polymyxa var. Ross.--producer of the polypeptide antibiotic polymyxin M. showed activity of L-asparaginase-2 (L-asparagine aminohydrolase EC 3.5.1.1). The enzyme activity in the growing culture increased with the biomass. The highest specific activity was detected in the cells at the onset of the stationary stage. The synthesis of L-asparaginase-2 was subjected to glucose catabolite repression in response to its addition to the culture at the logarithmic stage. After purification L-asparaginase-2 was obtained that was 350 times more active than the initial preparation. The enzyme properties were examined.
