Fig. 9From: A novel thermostable TP-84 capsule depolymerase: a method for rapid polyethyleneimine processing of a bacteriophage-expressed proteinsCapsules polysaccharides digestion by depolymerase, detected by Alcian Blue staining assay. Whole G. stearothermophilus 10 strR cells were incubated with purified depolymerase. Lane 1, incubation of app. 3 × 106 cells with 1 μg depolymerase for 0 min (control); lane 2, as in lane 1, digestion for 5 min; lane 3, 15 min; lane 4, 45 minBack to article page
