[Use of a lysoenzyme preparation from Streptomyces recifensis subsp. lyticus 2435 for isolating DNA from staphylococcal cells]. 1990

Iu S Babenko, and L B Oriabinskaia

It was shown that the preparation 2435 from Streptomyces recifensis subsp. lyticus, including a complex of bacteriolytic and concomitant enzymes provided lysis of thick staphylococcal suspensions within 15 to 20 minutes under optimal conditions after preliminary treatment of the cells with 0.1 M cystein-HCl. A procedure was developed for isolating DNA from the cells of staphylococci and other microorganisms based on enzymatic lysis. In terms of major physicochemical properties, the preparations of DNA were not inferior to the preparations of DNA isolated by the classical Marmur technique with Kirbi's deproteinization and had transforming activity. The developed procedure for isolation of DNA with using the lysoenzyme preparation widened the possibilities of investigating the genetics of staphylococci and other microorganisms.

D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.
