Of 120 laboratory-maintained strains of Listeria monocytogenes and two of L. ivanovii examined for haemolytic and lipolytic activity, 62 exhibited haemolytic activity alone, 20 of these showed haemolytic and lipolytic activity and 40 had neither activity. The L. ivanovii strains showed both activities. The results indicated a relationship between haemolysin production and lipolytic activity which was not explained by the serotype of the organism. In addition, the following hydrolytic activities were detected in the cell-free growth media of strains L. monocytogenes Boldy and L. ivanovii (formerly L. monocytogenes) Type 5 (substrates acted upon are given in parentheses): acid phosphate (4-nitrophenylphosphate, naphthyl phosphate, glycerophosphate, phosphorylcholine and GTP); neutral phosphatase (4-nitrophenylphosphate, naphthyl phosphate, phosphorylcholine, NADP and UDPG); phosphodiesterase (bis-4-nitrophenylphosphate, ATP and NADP); NADase (NAD); phospholipase C (4-nitrophenylphosphoryl-choline, phosphatidyl choline and ethanolamine, and sphingomyelin); and lipase and esterase (triacetin, tributyrin, triolein, naphthyl-laurate,-myristate,-caprylate,-palmitate and -oleate, 4-nitrophenyl-acetate-laurate and Tween 80). The preparations also showed weak catalase activity. No evidence was found for the presence of RNAase, DNAase, peptidase/amidase, phosphoamidase, alpha-amylase, glucosidase, galactosidase, pyranosidase or glucose aminidase.

An enzymatic profile of 20 strains of Pseudomonas maltophilia was undertaken with conventional plate tests, API ZYM, and 4-methylumbelliferyl-conjugated substrates. All strains produced DNase, RNase, arbutinase, esterases and lipases, mucinase, acid and alkaline phosphatases, alkaline pyrophosphate diesterase, phosphoamidase, beta-glucosidase, leucine arylamidase, and acetatase and were hemolytic for horse, sheep, and rabbit blood. The majority of strains produced chitinase, hyaluronidase, albuminase, valine arylamidase, trypsin, alpha- and beta-glucosidases, and N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase. API ZYM and 4-methylumbelliferyl-conjugated substrate assays are rapid, simple, specific, and sensitive and may be useful as diagnostic aids in the identification of P. maltophilia and other pseudomonads.
