Antibodies against the purified octameric l-leucine dehydrogenase (LeuDH) from the mesophilic Bacillus cereus have been used to screen 16 thermophilic Bacillus strains for LeuDH. 4 of these strains, Bacillus sphaericus 461 and Bacillus sp. 405, 406, and 411, showed a particularly strong cross reaction of the partial identity type when examined by Ouchterlony double diffusion assay, thus indicating that they were immunologically related to the B. cereus enzyme. The LeuDH from the thermophilic strains were very stable and highly active at elevated temperatures, and gave a downward bend at about 55°C in the Arrhenius plot. The pH optimum for l-leucine deamination was around pH 11 for all strains examined.
