Comparative studies on bacteriolytic properties of Staphylococcus chromogenes and Staphylococcus hyicus.
Staphylococcus chromogenes and Staphylococcus hyicus showed bacteriolytic activities towards a Micrococcus luteus reference strain. This was demonstrated on tryptone soya agar containing M. luteus cells. Both bacteriolytic enzymes could be isolated by ionic exchange chromatography and subsequent gel filtration. The isolated bacteriolysin of S. chromogenes lysed the M. luteus reference culture, was heat inactivated by 95 degrees C and precipitated specifically with antiserum produced against the bacteriolysin of S. hyicus.
