Highlights
- 100 T Equivalent: Prepared from Arthrobacter lutes. Essential enzyme activities are β-1,3-glucanase and β-1,3-glucan laminaripentao-hydrolase.
- Convenient: Provided lyophilized along with a storage buffer for reconstitution.
- Efficient Cell Wall Digestion: Supplied storage buffer has been optimized to confer maximum levels of enzymatic activity.

Q1: How can I improve my lysis efficiency?
Zymolyase is very efficient, but here are some tips:
1. Use fresh and early log phase cells, which are more susceptible to the lytic properties of Zymolyase.
2. Using less cells as input can improve overall lysis efficiency.
3. Zymolyase digestion time can also be increased to 2 – 16 hours.
