Hi,
we tried to make protoplasts of listeria using egg white lysozyme - that
worked, but took at least 16 hours which is much too long - one or two
hours are required.
After some searching I found that Sigma offers lysostaphin, a muramidase
from Staphylococcus - that might help, but it is very expensive. Is there
any experience with this enzyme? Or are others available for this purpose
with much better performance than egg white lysozyme?
Thanks a lot
Uwe
