Abstract
Nonspecific phosphatase activities were surveyed comparing major species of the family Enterobacteriaceae. The strains were subjected to a whole cell assay system with paranitrophenyl phosphate as substrate over a wide pH range and with a standardized number of bacterial cells. The overall results suggest that the general shape of the pH activity curve and the location of peaks (pH optimum) can be employed as a supplementary criterion to characterize species of Enterobacteriaceae.
