Abstract
The serum and urine proteins responsible for enhanced pigment producti on in Streptococcus agalactiae in culture media were purified by chrom atography and were identified as amylases by comparison of their amino acid composition with that calculated for proteins with known sequenc es, Similar pigment-enhancing activity was displayed by other amylases of nonanimal origin and by maltooligosaccharides.
