Abstract
DNase activity was measured during various stages of the life cycle of Myxococcus coralloides D. A high level of activity was maintained in vegetative cells, fruiting bodies and after myxospore induction by gly cerol. In this microorganism, DNase specific activity increased during both the vegetative and developmental cycles. In contrast, Myxococcus xanthus DK101 exhibited a different DNase activity.
