ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT
Lytic proteins encoded by bacterial genomes have been implicated in cell wall biosynthesis and recycling. The
Bacillus cereus
E33L
ampD
gene encodes a putative
N
-acetylmuramoyl-
l
-alanine amidase. This gene, expressed
in vitro
, produced a very stable, highly active lytic protein. Very low concentrations rapidly and efficiently lyse vegetative
Bacillus anthracis
cells.
