The use of modified starch substrates for the measurement of a-amylase activity is described. In the presence of excess glucoamylase, the amount of glucose released from substrates containing blockages to exo-enzyme action is proportional to the amount of cY-amylase present. The levels of a-amylase

A simple method for microdetermination of muramic acid is elaborated. The method is based on the degradation of muramic acid to lactic acid, followed by degradation of the latter to acetaldehyde which can be determined calorimetrically with p-hydroxydiphenyl (PHD) A linear relationship exists betwee
The method described here is essentially a modification of the method of Dilley and Crane (1) but has the advantages of greater speed and simplicity and gives higher recoveries. ## MATERIALS Benzene, petroleum ether (S&80), diethyl ether, absolute ethanol, and acetone were all analytical reagent
