General description
Achromopeptidase is useful for lysis of Gram-positive bacteria that are resistant to lysozyme, as well as Gram-negative organisms. Achromopeptidase has been shown to contain two bacteriolytic proteases. This product is free of detectable microbial DNA and is suitable for microbiome research
Application
Achromopeptidase is useful for lysis of Gram-positive bacteria that are resistant to lysozyme, as well as Gram-negative organisms. Achromopeptidase has been shown to contain two bacteriolytic proteases.
The study of microbial communities has been revolutionized in recent years by the widespread adoption of culture independent analytical techniques such as 16S rRNA gene sequencing and metagenomics. Since DNA contamination during sample preparation is a major problem of these sequence-based approaches, DNA extraction reagents free of DNA contaminants are essential. This product undergoes strict quality control testing to ensure the absence of detectable levels of contaminating microbial DNA using 35 cycles PCR amplification of 16S and 18S rDNA using universal primer sets.
