Yeast lytic enzyme is used to digest the cell wall of active yeast cells. Yeast lytic enzyme is an enzyme preparation from a submerged culture of Arthrobacter luteus which effectively lyses cell walls of viable yeast cell. It is a lyophilized enzyme partially purified by affinity chromatography. The primary enzyme in this preparation responsible for lysis of viable yeast cells is β-1,3-glucan laminaripentaohydrolase. It hydrolyzes glucose polymers at the β-1,3-glucan linkages releasing laminaripentaose as the principal product. Yeast Lytic Enzyme hydrolyzes poly-β(1→3)-glucose such as yeast cell wall glucan. One unit will produce a delta A800 of 0.001 per minute at pH 7.5 and 25°C, using a suspension of brewers yeast as a substrate in a 3 mL reaction mixture.
