title: L-Asparaginase production by Streptomyces griseus.
abstract: Streptomyces griseus ATCC 10137 synthesizes about 1 IU of L-asparaginase/100 ml of a 4% peptone medium. The enzyme has a pH optimum of 8.5 which is comparable to that of the L-asparaginase derived from Escherichia coli which has antitumor properties.
