- Abstract
THE enzyme contained in a culture fluid of Bacillus circulans has been shown to exert lytic activity towards Aspergillus oryzae and that a polymer of melibiose was liberated from the cell wall. However, the cell wall was not completely lysed by the enzyme owing to the large amount of chitin present. During the search for enzymes causing lysis of fungal cells, it was found that a mixed preparation of chitinase and lytic enzyme exerted strong lytic activity on the cell wall of A. oryzae.
