Abstract
Eggs from Marthastherias glacialis exert antibacterial action on marin e bacterial strains and show a lysozyme-like activity. This one depend s on pH and ionic strength of sample and reacting medium. This hydrola se, purified by gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography, could be responsible for the bacterial growth inhibitory activity observed.
