title: [Specificity of hydrolysis of S. aureus 209P cell walls by a lytic preparation of Pseudomonas lytica].
abstract: Specificity of Staphylococcus aureus 209P cell wall hydrolysis by a lytic preparation isolated from the culture liquid filtrate of Pseudomonas lytica VKM V-1454D was studied by the dansylation method. The lytic preparation was found to contain the lytic proteinase lysing the cells of Gram-positive microorganisms. The enzyme hydrolysed the cell walls of S. aureus 209P releasing N-terminal glycine and alanine in amounts of 0.73 and 0.34 mumoles per 1 mumole of lysine, respectively, which indicated the cleavage of the bonds in the pentaglycine bridge and, apparently, of the bond between N-acetylmuramic acid.
