Abstract excerpt
We describe here an extracellular proteolytic activity secreted during both growth and submerged development by Myxococcus xanthus DK1622. This activity yields the clotting of kappa-casein at pH 6 and is inhibited by specific inhibitors of aspartic proteases. Secretion of this milk-clotting proteolytic activity (of Mcp) is time regulated during the developmental cycle, with a large increase near 9 h...
