Novel Lytic Enzyme of Prophage Origin from <i>Clostridium botulinum</i> E3 Strain Alaska E43 with Bactericidal Activity against Clostridial Cells

Novel Lytic Enzyme of Prophage Origin from <i>Clostridium botulinum</i> E3 Strain Alaska E43 with Bactericidal Activity against Clostridial Cells

<i>Clostridium botulinum</i> is a Gram-positive, anaerobic, spore-forming bacterium capable of producing botulinum toxin and responsible for botulism of humans and animals. Phage-encoded enzymes called endolysins, which can lyse bacteria when exposed externally, have potential as agents...
