Abstract

A poly(aspartic acid) degrading bacterium (strain KT-1 [JCM10459]) was isolated from fiver water and identified as a member of the genus Sphingomonas. The isolate degraded only poly(aspartic acid)s of low molecular masses (<5 kDa), while the cell extract hydrolyzed high-molecular-mass poly(aspartic acid)s of 5 to 150 kDa to yield aspartic acid monomer.
