In vitro production of an extracellular protease by Legionella pneumophila.
Extracellular protease activity was measured in liquid cultures of representative strains from six serotypes of Legionella pneumophila. A variety of substrates were degraded, including denatured casein, skim milk, gelatin, and hide powder azure, but not elastin.
