title: Enzymatic activities of Legionella pneumophila and Legionella-like organisms.
abstract: The API ZYM system was used to investigate enzymatic activities of Legionella pneumophila and other Legionella-like organisms. Leucine aminopeptidase, alkaline and acid phosphatase, butyrate and caprylate esterase, and phosphoamidase activities were consistently detected in all strains tested. No evidence of myristate lipase, trypsin, chymotrypsin, or glycosidase activity was found.
