γ-Glutamyl hydrolase with a molecular mass of 28 kDa was purified from the culture broth of Bacillus sp. isolated from Thai Thua-nao, a natto-like fermented soybean food. The purified enzyme hydrolyzed chemically synthesized oligo-γ-L-glutamates but not oligo-γ-D-glutamates and degraded γ-polyglutam...
