Abstract

The suppression of the production of lytic enzyme was investigated using alcohols as membrane-modifying agents.
At the concentrations which growth was not suppressed, the production of lytic enzyme by strain V 37 was inhibited by n-alcohols having a range of 8 to 14 carbon atoms, phenethyl alcohol and benzyl alcohol, respectively.
The formation of extracellular lytic enzyme by the cells from the lag phase to the early logarithmic phase of growth was most susceptible to membrane-modifying agents such as octanol and phenethyl alcohol.
