Abstract
Rates of lysis by lysozyme (expressed as the decrease in A550 min-1) of synchronously dividing cells of B. subtilis rose in concert with the stepwise increase in cell numbers. Asynchronously growing cells showed no periodicities in sensitivity; rates of lysis reflected the exponential increase in culture density.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
