l-asparaginase has lots of medical and industrial applications. ever since l-asparaginase anti-tumor activity was first demonstrated, its production using microbial systems has attracted considerable attention owing to their cost-effective and eco-friendly nature. the aim of this study is to obtain l-asparaginase producing bacteria and determining the enzyme activity. samples were picked up fro...

l-asparaginase is a candidate enzyme for anti-neoplastic agent againstacute lymphoblasticleukemia and also extensively use in the food industry for prevention of acrylamide formation. l-asparaginase is widely distributed among microorganisms. in this study, marine bacteria were isolated from persian gulf and screened for l-asparaginase activity. production of l-asparaginase was carried out by u...

SUMMARY BALB/c mice were immunized with Escherichia coli L-asparaginase and tested for the presence of hemagglutination antibody (HA) to the enzyme. Mice were then grouped according to whether they were immune to L-asparaginase (HA titer, >4) or were non-HA responders (negative HA titer). In vivo antitumor activity of L-asparaginase against P-1798 (an L-asparaginase-sensitive lymphoma) was test...

L-Asparaginase has been widely used for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Therapeutic and toxic effects in the central nervous system have been noted with systemic treatment. In order to better define the relationship between L-asparaginase administration and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) asparagine levels, L-asparaginase and asparagine were measured in the CSF of rhesus monkeys follow...

L-Asparaginase is a chemotherapeutic drug used in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), a malignant disorder in children. L-Asparaginase helps in removing acrylamide found in fried and baked foods that is carcinogenic in nature. L-Asparaginase is present in plants, animals and microbes. Various microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast and fungi are generally used for the productio...

Among the two types of bacterial L-asparaginases, only type II enzymes have been used inthe treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia owing to their higher affinity for L-asparagine.However, current screening media used for the isolation of L-asparaginase-producingmicroorganisms do not discriminate between the two types of L-asparaginase. During anoptimization study conducted to increase L-aspa...
