abstract 1. Evidence is presented to show that the first step involved in the conversion of tryptophan into indolylacetic acid by Agrobacterium tumefaciens involves transamination.
2. A 68-fold purification of an aminotransferase, exhibiting a broad specificity with comparable transaminase activities with tryptophan, valine, leucine and isoleucine as amino donors and phenylpyruvate as acceptor, was achieved.
3. The optimum pH for the enzyme activity is 9-6. The activity at higher pH values, though less than optimurn, is significant.
4. Substrates and pyridoxal phosphate stabilize the enzyme against thermal denaturation.
