Effect of lipoteichoic acid and lipids on lysis of intact cells of Streptococcus faecalis.
Autolysis of intact cells of Streptococcus faecalis was inhibited to a greater extent by phospholipids than by lipoteichoic acid, suggesting a possible difference in the accessibility of native autolysin to these substances.
