Pseudomonas aeruginosa possesses a peptidase N activity analogous to those described in Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium . This activity resides in a protein with an M r value of 85 000. Part of this peptidase activity appears to be associated with the cytoplasmic membrane. The K M value for this peptidase bound to the cytoplasmic membrane is in the range of 0.5 mM.
