In the rumen liquor supernatant of fistulated sheep a soluble proteolytic factor was found with a peptide-bond preference for the carboxyl-side of lysine and with sensitivity to inhibition by tosyl-lysine chloromethyl ketone (TLCK) and p-chloromercuribenzoate (pCMB). The disappearance of the factor might have been due to changes in the composition of rumen flora.
