Abstract

Vibrio succinogenes produces an asparaginase that does not hydrolyze glutamine, is not immunosuppressive, and has antitumor activity. Fermentor cultures initiated by small inocula exhibit a pattern of increasing enzyme activity consistent with induction during exponential phase. Semi-continuous cultures permit the harvesting of fully induced cells. © 1981 Science and Technology Letters.
