Abstract

A bacteriolytic enzyme complex obtained from a bacterial culture of Nocardiopsis dassonvillei strains, e.g., isolates G102-3 (NRRL 18349), G119-6 (NRRL 18350), and D38-3 (NRRL 18364). The enzyme complex may be produced by cultivating the microorganism in an aqueous medium containing maltodextrin and soybean meal, after which the lytic enzyme complex may be recovered from the fermentation broth. This bacteriolytic enzyme complex is useful as a detergent additive.
