Dear Victor:

It depends on the bacteria you are working with, but in general, simple lysozyme is good enough. Probably the advantage of using lysozyme hidrocloride is related to the buffers you have to use, because the solubility of lysozyme hidrocloride is different to the simple lysozyme solubility.

Good luck!,

Lysozyme is more than any modified one

Michael J. Benedik

They are essentially the same, just the buffer the enzyme is suspended in.
