Abstract:Abstract A fragment of Staphylococcus aureus DNA encoding the glucosaminidase determinant was cloned in Escherichia coli by inserting the Sau 3A genomic fragments in the Bam HI site of the plasmid vector pBR322. One clone selected on the basis of its lytic activity was shown to contain a hybrid plasmid (pEU213) carrying a 4.7 kb insert of S. aureus DNA. Lytic activity was tested using different assays, and the enzyme production was confirmed by immunological reactions. An appreciable reduction of lytic activity was noted after few subcultures. The E. coli carrying pEU213 had a slower growth rate and increased autolytic activity compared to the parental strain. The possible reasons for this behavior are discussed.
