Action of Streptococcus Faecalis Chain Disruption System as Revealed by Scanning Electron MicroscopyM. Rafi Shaikh, Dilvanaz Shaikh, B. Shyum Naqvi, Mohammad FarouqFrom Department of Microbiology, University of Karachi, Karachi- 75270, Pakistan.
Short-chain Streptococcus faecalis group (D) zymogenes has been described to elaborate a lytic factor in fluid media which disrupts longer chains. The chain disrupting system was fractionated on Sephadex G-75 and its action was studied by scanning electron microscopy; indicating random sites of its attack on cocci of homologous species namely NCTC 2400. Keywords: Streptococcus faecalis, lytic factor, chain disrupting system, Sephadex G-75
