Bacteriolysis by Agaricus bisporus [PDF]
Summary: Agaricus bisporus, the cultivated mushroom, was able to mineralize dead 14C-labelled Bacillus subtilis and utilize the cellular components as sole source of carbon and nitrogen for growth. Consistently higher levels of bacteriolytic activity were obtained when A. bisporus was grown on lower concentrations of bacteria, 1·5 mg ml−1 as opposed to

Bacteriolysis by a Species of Streptomyces [PDF]
SUMMARY: The lysis of dead Bacterium coli by concentrates prepared from filtrates of a Streptomyces sp. is probably due to proteolysis. In any event the lysis can be accounted for by proteolysis, even if the action of other bacteriolytic enzymes cannot be excluded.

Induction of Bacteriolysis by Cysteamine and Its Derivatives [PDF]
Cysteamine and certain closely related derivatives induced lysis in a majority of 28 strains of Bacillus; cultures of all other genera tested were resistant. Forty-three additional sulphur and/or nitrogen containing compounds were unable to induce lysis. Optimum conditions for cysteamine activity included exposure of metabolizing post-log.

Lipopolysaccharide increases lysozyme adhesion to chitin
Background. To study the effect of lipopolysaccharide on the adsorption of lysozyme on chitin.Methods. Egg white lysozyme, lipopolysaccharide and chitin were used. The lyophilized cells of M. lyzodeikticus were used as a lysozyme substrate.

Human complement regulators C4b-binding protein and C1 esterase inhibitor interact with a novel outer surface protein of Borrelia recurrentis. [PDF]
The spirochete Borrelia recurrentis is the causal agent of louse-borne relapsing fever and is transmitted to humans by the infected body louse Pediculus humanus. We have recently demonstrated that the B.

Bacteriolysis – a mere laboratory curiosity?
The role of bacteriolysis in the pathophysiology of microbial infections dates back to 1893 when Buchner and Pfeiffer reported for the first time the lysis of bacteria by immune serum and related this phenomenon to the immune response. Later on, basic anti-microbial peptides and certain beta-lactam antibiotics have been shown not only to kill ...
