Abstract excerpt
Strains of nutritionally variant streptococci, Streptococcus defectivus (n = 10) and Streptococcus adjacens (n = 20), were studied for the production of glycosidic and proteolytic enzyme activities. S. defectivus strains produced neuraminidase and alpha-fucosidase, while S. adjacens strains produ...
