RESUMO

The production of extracellular deoxyribonuclease and ribonuclease by 23 marine and 3 dairy strains of Pseudomonas putrefaciens, 15 strains of fish-pathogenic fluorescent pseudomonads, 38 strains of fluorescent pseudomonads isolated from haddock, and 34 related organisms was determined by an agar plate method. All strains of P. putrefaciens produced both deoxyribonuclease and ribonuclease. Of the other 87 organisms examined, 26.5% produced ribonuclease and 14.5% produced deoxyribonuclease. All organisms which produced deoxyribonuclease also produced ribonuclease. Deoxyribonuclease production by P. putrefaciens is suggested as a useful criterion of identity for members of this intense fish spoilage species.
