PAC and CMR165 solubilized calcium and magnesium inositol
hexaphosphate (phytic acid), but FT326 did not. Others have found
phytase activity in strains of Pseudomonas and Serratia (Richardson
and Hadobas, 1997; Mukesh et al., 2004), but Hameeda et al. (2006)
found S. marcescens strain EB67 was not able to cleave sodium IP6.
