Abstract
    A very sensitive method allowing determination of exoproteolytic activity in natural water is based on the use of aminoacyl-ß-naphthylamide, which gives rise to a fluorescent product upon hydrolysis of its peptidelike bond by filtered or unfiltered water samples. Specificity of the method to exoproteases is demonstrated by a strong competitive inhibition effect of added proteins.A good correlation is found between exoproteolytic activity and the rate of amino acid utilization by microheterotrophs in various aquatic environments.
