A bacteriolytic enzyme complex is obtained from a bacterial culture of Bacillus pabuli strains, e.g. , isolates 350-2 (NRRL B-18446) and 391-1 (NRRL B-18447). This bacteriolytic enzyme complex is useful as an antibacterial agent against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The enzyme complex may be produced by cultivating the B. pabuli microorganisms in an aqueous medium containing cornsteep liquor, after which the lyric enzyme complex can be recovered from the fermentation broth.

Cell wall lytic enzymes from bacillus pabuli

A bacteriolytic enzyme complex obtained from a bacterial culture of Nocardiopsis dassonvillei strains, e.g., isolates G102-3 (NRRL 18349), G119-6 (NRRL 18350), and D38-3 (NRRL 18364). The enzyme complex may be produced by cultivating the microorganism in an aqueous medium containing maltodextrin and soybean meal, after which the lytic enzyme complex may be recovered from the fermentation broth. This bacteriolytic enzyme complex is useful as a detergent additive.
