...obviously, it is implicated a lysis of the bacterium. I suggest measure protein before and after the assay, in order to find proteolytic or lysozyme activity
how marked must be the decrease in OD600 in order to talk about a cell lysis? I have observed that i have a decrease of about 0.2 is that imputable to a merely instrumental error or it is due to the phoenomena we are talking about?
I just have a similar question. Most of you are suggesting it is the cell lysis. What will be the case when the cell elongation takes place as in case of FtsZ mutants? Will the OD increase or decrease.
