Application
Micrococcus lysodeikticus ATCC No. 4698 has been used in a study to assess lysozyme separation by hollow-fibre ultrafiltration. It has also been used in a study to investigate the encapsulation of protein drugs in biodegradable microparticles.
Lysozyme lysates harvested from cultures of Micrococcus lysodeikticus were attached to sepharose and used for affinity chromatography to isolate various bacteriolytic enzymes.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Micrococcus luetus is a Gram-positive bacteria that is identified by the release of yellow water-insoluble pigments. This species requires succinic acid for its growth and is found to be susceptible to β-lytic metalloendopeptidase lyses by Lysobacter enzymogenes. Its membrane includes enzymes that participate in the prenylation reactions by utilizing prenyl pyrophosphates as donors. M. luteus is known to be used for cloning the cis-prenyl transferase gene.
Quality
Contains polynucleotide phosphorylase.
Unit Definition
One unit will lyse 0.6 μg of Micrococcus lysodeikticus per minute by turbidimetric detection at 600 nm when suspended in buffer at pH 6.2 at 25 °C.

Ingestion and killing of bacteria by phagocytic cells protect the human body against infections. While many mechanisms have been proposed to account for bacterial killing in phagosomes, their relative importance, redundancy, and specificity remain unclear. In this study, we used

The OB-fold is a small, versatile single-domain protein binding module that occurs in all forms of life, where it binds protein, carbohydrate, nucleic acid and small-molecule ligands. We have exploited this natural plasticity to engineer a new class of non-immunoglobulin

The in vitro selection of nucleic acid binding species (aptamers) is frequently repetitive, time-consuming, and poorly adapted to high-throughput applications. We have adapted automated workstations to select anti-protein aptamers; as an example, we demonstrated the selection of anti-lysozyme aptamers that
