Comparative Evaluation of Proteolytic and Superoxide Dismutase Activities of Yersinia pestis Strains with Different Plasmid imposition

Abstract

Data of the proteolytic and superoxide dismutase activities of Yersinia pestis strains with different plasmid spectrum are presented. It was established that superoxide dismutase activity of the tested Y. pestis strains was not associated with its plasmid composition. Some differences were revealed concerning the proteolytic activity. Direct dependence of proteolytic activity level of the studied Y. pestis strains on pYV plasmid presence in its genome was found.
