The presence of two kinds of l-amino acid dehydrogenase in resting spores of Bacillus subtilis was indicated. One of them was l-alanine dehydrogenase, which used only l-alanine as a substrate, and the other was nonspecific dehydrogenase, which used l-valine, l-isoleucine, l-leucine, and l-alanine (slightly) as substrates. Several properties of these dehydrogenases were compared.
