Electron microscopy of Staphylococcus aureus cells and cell walls after treatment with lysozyme Chalaropsis.

Abstract:

:Lysozyme Chalaropsis, a beta-1,4-N,6-O-diacetylmuramidase, attacks the cell wall murein of Staphylococcus aureus H in a random manner. In hypertonic sucrose solutions, true protoplasts are produced and, in the process, mesosomal tubules are extruded into the medium.
