Abstract excerpt
Porphyromonas gingivalis is an asaccharolytic bacterium that requires nitrogen substrates as carbon and energy sources. The aims of this study were to investigate the aminopeptidase activities of P. gingivalis and to evaluate the effect of aminopeptidase inhibitors on bacterial growth. Only arginine aminopeptidase and dipeptidyl aminopeptidase IV activities were detected. Experimental evidence was obtained...
