General Description
• Lysozyme, chicken egg white is a naturally occurring enzyme that hydrolyzes the peptidoglycans in the bacterial cell wall, resulting in cell wall lysis
Application
• Lysozyme is utilized for the hydrolysis of peptidoglycans found in bacterial cell walls
• It is used as a precursor in the production of spheroplasts in laboratory settings
• It is used for lysing E. coli and Streptomycetes for extraction purposes, such as extracting group-specific antigen
