Enzyme(s) capable of decomposing N ‐acetylglucosaminyl ribitol teichoic acid prepared from the cell wall of Staphylococcus aureus FDA 209 P was obtained from the culture supernatant of a gram‐negative, rod‐shaped, spore‐forming soil bacterium. Properties of the bacterium were very similar to those of Bacillus circulans .
