A new method is described that demonstrates acid phosphatase activity in the cells of the proximal tubules of the rat kidney. The method is based on the formation of an insoluble aluminum phosphate precipitate. Microanalysis was used to demonstrate the presence of intracellular aluminum and determine the quantity present under the probe. Parallel biochemical studies showed that the aluminum precipitate was indeed due to acid phosphatase activity.

Biochemical studies on the phosphatase systems of Gastrothylax crumenifer have been made. The maximum activity of the phosphatase enzyme was found to be at 5 pH. The action of magnesium and fluoride ions on the acid phosphatase activity shows that both act as inhibitors. The day-to-day variation in the phosphatase activity of the samples, as measured by block differences, was found to be significant at different pH levels. The heat denatured extract showed low and fairly constant acid phosphatase activity.
