Summary

Treatment of unfrozen cells with lipase before exposure to lysozyme enhanced cellular lysis. This also was true for cells held frozen for up to 6 weeks before they were thawed and treated with enzymes. Frozen storage of cells of all three strains increased their susceptibility to lysis by lipase, and this was related inversely with the percentage of cells that survived freezing and frozen storage.
