ACTION OF LISOZYME ON B. ANTHRACIS
Abstract
B. anthracis shows a sensitivity to the lytic action of lysozyme; the lysis is associated to a decrease of turbidity in the bacterial suspension and to a liberation of ribonucleic acid in the medium. B. anthracis grows in broth containing small amounts of lysozyme (1:50000), in saline containing great amounts of inactivated lysozyme (1:1000 - 1:2000) and in saline containing the split products of B. anthracis treated with lysozyme.
