Its antibacterial activity was investigated on gram-negative bacteria Pseudomonas fluorescens. These activities were assessed by radial agar diffusion assay, and scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Therefore, destabilase-lysozyme not only is endo-isopeptidase and lysozyme, but also has antifungal and antibacterial activities. Muramidase activity of rec. Dest-Eys disappeared after heat-treating at 90~C for 50 min without the loss of its antimicrobial activity. Furthermore we showed for the first time that the heated-up derivative ofrec.Dest-Lys exhibited more potent activities against the above enumerated fungi and gram-negative bacteria than original protein.展开更多
