l-asparaginase (E.C.3.5.1.1) is an important enzyme often used to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia. This paper describes the production, purification and partial characterization of l-asparaginase by Streptobacillus sp. KK2S4. The highest l-asparaginase production was achieved with 0.2% (w/v) of l...
