Abstract
RESULTS have been obtained which indicate the presence in Escherichia coli NCTC 86 of pyridoxamine phosphate oxidase1 and of pyridoxine phosphate oxidase2. These enzymes had previously been demonstrated in rabbit liver preparations3–6. These enzymes in E. coli NCTC 86 have been investigated in aqueous extracts obtained from acetone-ether dried cells (kindly supplied by the Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine, Elstree, Herts.), which had been grown for 18 h at 37° C on a casein-digest medium solidified with agar2.
