5′-Nucleotidase, adenosine phosphorylase, adenosine deaminase and purine nucleoside phosphorylase, four enzymes involved in the utilization of exogenous purine compounds in Bacillus cereus, were measured in extracts of this organism grown in different conditions. It was found that adenosine deaminas...
