Substrate specyfity of peptidases synthesised by Enterococcus facieum.

The strain Enterococcus faecium successfully used in youghurt production was the subject of studies. It results from the comparison of the activities of peptidases synthesised by E. faecium that aminopeptidases dominated Their average activity was about 2.5-fold higher than the average activity of dipeptidases. The presence of carboxy- and tripeptidases is also important from the technological point of view.
