“…At other stages of development it is probable that the titre of the phenolases is lower than in the later stages of pupal life. Thus although some of the added succinate would inhibit tyrosinase activity, a larger proportion would also be vigorously oxidized by succinoxidase present (Ludwig & Barsa, 1956), which would account for the net increase in oxygen uptakes observed.…”

ASPARTIC DECARBOXYLASE OF NOCARDIA GLOBERULA 225 transamination mechanism. However, if a transamination reaction is taking place it is apparently concerned with some amino acid other than glutamic acid. SUMMARY 1. Acetone-dried powders of a strain of Nocardia globerula possess aspartic decarboxylase activity but are inactive towards all other amino acids tested. 2. The enzyme can be used for the quantitative estimation of L-aspartic acid in protein hydrolysates and is stable for long periods. I am indebted to the Medical Research Council for a Scholarship for Training in Research Methods. My thanks are also due to Dr S. V. Perry for a gift of [15N]aspartic acid, to Mr B. E. Boon for the operation of the mass spectrometer and to Mr M. W. Rees for a gift of edestin.
