F. Tavares et A. Sellstedt, DNASE ACTIVITIES OF THE EXTRACELLULAR, CELL WALL-ASSOCIATED, AND CYTOPLASMIC PROTEIN-FRACTIONS OF FRANKIA STRAIN R43, Applied and environmental microbiology, 63(11), 1997, pp. 4597-4599
DNase activities in different protein fractions of Frankia strain R43
were studied. The extracellular and the cell wall-associated fractions
revealed the presence of exo- and endonucleolytic enzymes, but none w
as detected in the cytoplasmic fraction. The strongest DNase hydrolysi
s was found in the extracellular fraction, in which six DNases were de
tected by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
