Abstract
THOUGH a great many results on the lysis of bacteria have appeared, little information has yet been presented concerning the organisms which have lytic activity toward the cell walls of the fungal mycelium. Some of these investigations demonstrated the production of microbial enzymes capable of lysing fungi. A knowledge of the action of enzymes on fungal mycelium may, perhaps, give some idea of the composition of some of the cell wall structures.
