Release of coagulase from staphylococci.
Immediately after inoculation with coagulase-positive staphylococci the coagulase-activity increased significantly in various culture media. The increase was much higher than the calculated coagulase-activity added with the inoculum (table 1). It appears that this release offers a possibility for the efficient production of coagulase prior to purification.
