Abstract
Strains of group A Streptococci produced an extracellular carbohydrase which degraded starch and bore a general resemblance to pancreatic diastase. Amylolytic activity was decreased in environmental conditions which also affected streptococcal proteinase and was associated with hyaluronidase production in certain serologically defined strains.Keywords
