Synthesis of collagenase by the phytopathogenic bacterium Corynebacterium rathayii.
The collagenase-producing bacterium tentatively called Empedobacter collagenolyticum was recently identified as Corynebacterium rathayii. Production of collagenase was studied in different media containing peptones or peptides of known sequences. A hexapeptide, Pro-Ala-Gly-Pro-Pro-Gly, is an inducer almost as good as collagen.
