Abstract

Per01ldase. catalase and phosphomonoesterase, present in the stem of Agave vera cruz Mill., have been studied. Partial purification by fractional precipitation with anunonium sulphate and dialysis results in a 30-fold Increase in peroxidase activity, but only In a 2-fold increase in phosphomonoesterase activity, on protein basis. The latter enzyIlle shows two pH optima, one around pH 3'5 and the other around pH 5·5. MagnesiumH did not have any activating effect on either of the acid phosphatases.
