About Lesson
protein degrade into amino acid in the presence of enzymes extra cellularly secreted by Clostridium, Pseudomonas, Bacillus & many fungi
Proteins —>Proteases –> Polypeptides–>peptidase —> AA
AA (Amino Acids) are degraded by various ways:
- Oxidative deamination
Glutamic acid + O2—–>aerobic microbes——> succinic acid + NH3 + CO2
Azotobacter,
Azospirillum
- By hydrolytic deamination
Glycine + 2H2O—–> Micrococcus —> Acetic acid + NH3 + CO2
