Slime formers Aerobic, capsulated, gram-negative bacilli, Pseudomonas sp. (such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa), Aerobacter sp. (also known as Enterobacter or Klebsiella), Bacillus sp. (such as Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus cereus), Flavobacterium sp., Proteus vulgaris, Serratia sp., and Alcaligenes sp. 

Cornybacterium sp., Escherichia coli, Flavobacterium sp., Proteus sp., waA Pseudomonas sp. transform arsenate to arsenite, and they all produee dimethylarsine, whereas Pseudomonas sp. forms all three of the methylated arsines from arsenie-eontaining pestieides (Shariatpanahi et al, 1981). Six baeterial speeies Achromobacter sp., Aero-monas sp., Alcaligenes sp., Flavobacterium sp., Nocardia sp., and Pseudomonas sp.) produee both mono and dimethylarsine from methylarsonate and only two of them produee trimethylarsine, whereas Nocardia sp. was the only organism to produee all of the methylarsines from arsenical herbicides (Shariatpanahi et al, 1983). 

This type of enzyme is commonly obtained from bacterial sources like pneumococci, staphylococci, streptococci, Clostridia [29], Flavobacterium, and Proteus vulgaris [30], and has been demonstrated in Treponema pallidum [31]. Bacterial hyaluronidases degrade hyaluronan to a disaccharide containing a A-4,5-unsaturated uronic acid by eliminating 1 mole of water from the uronic acid portion of the repeating unit of hyaluronan [29]. The full mechanism of this type of reaction has been elucidated by Ludowieg et al. [32],... 

Hyaluronidase from Flavobacterium and Proteus vulgaris has been shown to hydrolyze chondroitin-4- and -6-sulfate and to possess weak activity toward dermatan sulfate [30], Hyaluronidase from Streptomyces hyalumlyticus...

Culture filtrates from many strains of Pneumococci, Streptococci, Staphylococci, Clostridia, Proteus, and Flavobacterium show considerable hyaluronidase or hyaluronate lyase activities (Meyer et at., 1960 Gibian,...
