STUDIES ON BACTERIAL ENZYMES : IV. THE MALTASE AND LIPASE OF THE BOTULINUS BACILLUS.
Botulinus bacilli yield a maltase and a lipase, which retain their hydrolytic activity independent of the presence of the formed bacterial cell. The maltase is an endocellular substance, while the lipase is extracellular. The lipase, when separated from the anaerobic bacillus, does not seem to be affected by exposure to air.
