RESUMO
A method for the rapid lysis of Listeria cells, employing a recombinant Listeria bacteriophage A118 lytic enzyme (PLY118), is described. The procedure can be used with all listerial species. It enables fast, efficient, and gentle recovery of DNA, RNA, or native cellular proteins from small-scale (2- to 5-ml) cultures. Moreover, this approach should be very useful in analytical detection and differentiation of Listeria strains when the release of native nucleic acids or proteins is required.
