Abnormal autolytic enzyme in a pneumococus with altered teichoic acid composition.

A Tomasz, M Westphal.   

Abstract

Pneumococci in which the choline component of the cell wall teichoic acid was replaced by ethanolamine contain an abnormal autolytic enzyme that has a low molecular weight and low activity in contrast to the enzyme typical of choline-containing bacteria that has a high molecular weight and high activity. The abnormal autolysin can be converted to the normal (cholinetype) enzyme by incubation in vitro with choline-containing cell walls.
