Characteristics of extracellular protein production by a plasmidless derivative of Staphylococcus simulans biovar staphylolyticus.
A derivative of Staphylococcus simulans biovar staphylolyticus cured of all five plasmids present in the wild-type organism was developed, and the characteristics of extracellular protein production by this plasmidless strain were compared to those of the wild type. Although staphylolytic endopeptidase (lysostaphin) and beta-lactamase are known to be plasmid encoded, analysis of this cured strain revealed that most other extracellular proteins are chromosomally encoded.
