Summary Four species of bacteria which includedPseudomonasfluorescens,Vibriocholerae andVibriocosticola were observed to produce glutaminase both as extracellular and intracellular fractions. Comparatively both the fractions were higher in mineral media supplemented with 1% glutamine than in nutrient broth added with or without glutamine. Extracellular glutaminase production was about 2.6–6.8 times greater than the intracellular production by all the tested strains.
