Labiase from Streptomyces fulvissimus is an enzyme preparation useful for the lysis of many Gram-positive bacteria such as Lactobacillus, Aerococcus and, Streptococcus. Labiase contains β-N-acetyl-D-glucosaminidase and lysozyme ...
Mutanolysin is an N-acetylmuramidase. Like lysozyme, it is a muralytic enzyme that cleaves the β-N-acetylmuramyl-(1→4)-N-acetylglucosamine linkage of the bacterial cell wall polymer peptidoglycan-polysaccharide. Its carboxy terminal moieties are involved in the recognition ...
Chitinase is an extracellular enzyme complex that degrades chitin and has a molecular mass of approximately 30 kDa. Chitin is degraded to N-acetyl-D-glucosamine in 2 enzymatic reactions. Firstly, chitobiose units are removed from chitin by chitodextrinase-chitinase. The second ...
