Abstrakt:	The effect of the extracellular bacteriolytic enzymes of Lysobacter sp. on gram-negative bacteria was studied. These enzymes were found to be able to hydrolyze the peptidoglycan that was isolated from the gram-negative bacteria, the hydrolysis being completely inhibited by the cell wall lipopolysaccharide of these bacteria. The native cells of the gram-negative bacteria became susceptible to the bacteriolytic enzymes after the permeability of the outer membrane of the cells was altered by treating them with polymyxin B.
