Sensitization by ethylenediaminetetraacetate of Clostridium perfringens type A spores to germination by lysozyme

D M Adams. J Bacteriol. 1973 Oct.

Abstract

Clostridium perfringens spores (three strains) were normally resistant to germination by lysozyme. In the absence of disulfide bond-breaking reagents, tetrasodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate rapidly sensitized the spores to lysozyme.
