Notes:
Six of 19 psychrotrophic bacteria common in milk and meat hydrolyzed large amounts of p-nitrophenyl-glycosides during 48 hr in minimal growth broth at 20°C. Four of the 19 were inactive against the four glycosides used in the screening tests, and nine were weakly active. In tests of the six active cultures against 11 p-nitrophenyl-glycosides, strains of Enterobacter had more glycosidase activity than strains of Pseudomonas, β-anomers were hydrolyzed more rapidly than α-anomers, more p-nitrophenol was released from the β-D-galactoside than from other substrates, there was activity against the D form but not the L form of fucoside, and p-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucoside was hydrolyzed at about the same rate by each culture.
