Abstract

Summary

Mucinase enzymes were isolated and partially purified from the culture fluid of grown in proteose peptone-colostrum medium. The mucinase complex contained neuraminidase, endo--N-acetylhexosaminidase, nicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotidase and proteinases. Traces of phospholipase activity were detected but the complex lacked aldolase activity.
