RT Journal Article T1 Identification of serum and urine proteins responsible for enhanced pigment production by group B streptococci as amylases. A1 Rosa-Fraile, Manuel A1 Sampedro, Antonio A1 Ruiz-Bravo, Alfonso A1 Sanbonmatsu, Sara A1 Gimenez-Gallego, Guillermo K1 Pigmentos biológicos K1 Amilasas K1 Proteínas sanguíneas K1 Orina AB The serum and urine proteins responsible for enhanced pigment production in Streptococcus agalactiae in culture media were purified by chromatography and were identified as amylases by comparison of their amino acid composition with that calculated for proteins with known sequences. Similar pigment-enhancing activity was displayed by other amylases of nonanimal origin and by maltooligosaccharides.
