Storage Temperature: 2-8°C
Application: For the detection of L-alanine-aminopeptidase in microorganisms.
L-Alanine aminopeptidase is an enzyme localized in the bacterial cell wall which cleaves N-terminal L-alanine from various peptides. It is found almost exclusively in Gram-negative microorganisms. Studied Gram-positive or Gram-variable microorganisms show no or very weak activity. The aminopeptidase test is a reliable method for determining the Gram behavior. It does not replace Gram-staining, as it cannot show morphology.
