Bacteria producing L-asparaginase isolated from Peruvian saline environments

L-asparaginase (EC 3.5.1.1) hydrolyzes L-asparagine in L-aspartic acid and ammonia. Its efficiency is subject to its kinetics and specificity on the substrate, characteristics that vary from one source to another. Thus, microorganisms from saline environments constitute a phylogenetic and metabolica...
