Abstract
A novel enzyme composition capable of lysing or digesting cells or cellular debris of polysaccharide-producing bacteria in the presence of the exopolysaccharides without any significant degradation of the exopolysaccharides. Methods for preparing the enzyme composition, using the composition to clarify mixtures of polysaccharides and cellular debris, and pure cultures for making the enzyme are disclosed.
