Application
Provides gentle cell lysis for the isolation of easily degradable biomolecules and RNA from bacteria. It has been used in the formation of spheroplasts for isolation of DNA.
Purified Mutanolysin SAE0092 undergoes strict quality control testing to ensure the absence of detectable levels of contaminating DNA using 35 cycles PCR amplification of 16S and 18S rDNA using universal primer sets.
Mutanolysin is a muralytic enzyme, suitable for usage in isolation of nucleic acids, from Gram-positive bacteria (e.g. Listeria, Lactobacillus, Lactococcus),(8) and also from other bacteria that are difficult to lyse with lysozyme only.

Biochem/physiol Actions
Mutanolysin cleaves the β-N-acetylmuramyl-(1→4)-N-acetylglucosamine linkage of the bacterial cell wall polymer peptidoglycan-polysaccharide. It lyses Listeria and other gram positive bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Lactococcus.
Mutanolysin is an N-acetylmuramidase. Like lysozyme, it is a muralytic enzyme that cleaves the β-N-acetylmuramyl-(1→4)-N-acetylglucosamine linkage of the bacterial cell wall polymer peptidoglycan-polysaccharide. Its carboxy terminal moieties are involved in the recognition and binding of unique cell wall polymers. Mutanolysin lyses Listeria and other Gram-positive bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Lactococcus.
Features and Benefits
Suitable for difficult-to-lyse samples.
Microbial DNA free, minimizing DNA contamination from reagents in workflow.
Suitable for the isolation of nucleic acids from Gram-positive bacteria, including Listeria, Lactobacillus, and Lactococcus.

Group B streptococci, refractory to previously tested muralysins under physiological conditions, were successfully converted to protoplasts by use of a recently describede N-acetyl muramidase, mutanolysin, derived from a streptomycete. Purified enzyme was effective, but crude preparations, although degrading cell walls

The cell wall is a vital and multi-functional part of bacterial cells. For Staphylococcus aureus, an important human bacterial pathogen, surface proteins and cell wall polymers are essential for adhesion, colonization and during the infection process. One such cell wall
