Popis: Lysophospholipase (LPL) activity found in Mycobacterium smegmatis was characterized. LPL activity was found to exist in high levels in two-to-10-day-old cultures. The enzyme assay was run using 1.4 X 10(9) viable bacteria at an incubation time of 24 h. Enzyme activity was detected between 1 degree C and 80 degrees C with maximal activity between 40 degrees C and 60 degrees C. LPL activity was maximal at pH 9.0, with activity ranging between pH 3.0 and 10.0.
