| Abstract: | About 2,000 strains of streptomycetes and 200 strains of molds were tested for egg yolk-degrading activity. A strain isolated from soil was found to produce the strong activity in the culture medium.The egg yolk-degrading substance was found to be phospholipase D and the producing strain was identified as Streptomyces hachijoensis. It was found out that the strains producing egg yolk-degrading substance appeared with high frequency in whirl-forming species in genus Streptomyces. |
