The enzymes were not distinguished from one another, or from normal bovine LDH 1 by these methods. The kinetic behaviour of LDH from M. mycoides (t 1 vaccine strain) suggested that the enzyme could readily reduce pyruvate or oxidize lactate in a manner which, in vertebrates, requires two different isoenzymes. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-88-1-58
