Action of Streptococcus Faecalis Chain Disruption System as Revealed by Scanning Electron Microscopy M. Rafi Shaikh, Dilvanaz Shaikh, B. Shyum Naqvi, Mohammad Farouq From 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.
