Abstract
The problem of whether peptidase activity of mycobacteria is due to more specific enzymes or to a single, rather wide-spectrum, enzyme is approached by the application of definite chromogenic substrates aminoacyl naphthylamides, NA). This application might serve as an additional very important taxonomic tool for this bacterial family. The identification procedure described is simple and yields exact and rapid results. Other methods suggested for the determination of peptidase activity are presented. Lines of further research in the field are discussed.
