The influence of methods of cell disintegration of Bac. polymyxa on aspartate kinase activity (EC 2.7.2.4) was examined. The disruption by means of the Hews press yielded a more active preparation as compared with ultrasonic disintegration. The supernatant treatment with streptomycin sulphate increased the preparation activity 2-fold. Dialysis of the fraction with a high activity of aspartate kinase inactivated the enzyme by 80--85%. The relationship between the aspartate kinase activity and the portein and ATP concentration in the reaction mixture was established.
