ABSTRACT

Several preparations of staphylococcal {alpha}-toxin and {delta}-lysin were studied in order to compare hemolytic activity with capacity to lyse bacterial protoplasts. {delta}-Lysin in relatively low concentration lysed protoplasts of Sarcina lutea, protoplasts of Streptococcus faecalis, and spheroplasts of Escherichia coli. Lysis of bacterial protoplasts by preparations of {alpha}-toxin appeared to be due to contamination of the preparations with {delta}-lysin. Data comparing the protoplast-lysing activity of various lytic agents are presented.
