1. Aqueous extracts of competent cells of Bacillus subtilis 168I− were shown to contain a competence-inducing factor. The aqueous extracts were fractionated on DEAE-cellulose columns. 2. Those fractions from DEAE-cellulose columns containing the competence-inducing factor were shown to exhibit a powerful lytic effect on isolated cell walls of B. subtilis 168I−. Little or no lytic activity was exhibited by the other fractions. 3. The kinetics of the lytic enzyme were investigated and found to be first-order. Treatment of cell wall lysates with 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene suggested that the enzyme may be identical with N-acetylmuramyl-l-alanine amidase. The amino acid composition of the partially purified enzyme was determined. 4. It is suggested that competence-induction may be dependent on the limited action of the autolytic amidase.

The protein product of cistron 3 of Bacillus subtilis bacteriophage Ø29 is essential for viral DNA synthesis and is covalently bound to the 5’-termini of the Ø29 DNA. When the DNA-protein complex is cleaved with a restriction endonuclease, the protein is bound to the two terminal fragments. The 28,000 dalton protein can be visualized by electron microscopy as a small dot and often is seen only when two ends are in apposition as in multimers or in glutaraldehyde-fixed aggregates. We sought to improve the visibility of these small proteins by use of antibody labeling.
