The production of proteolytic enzymes and enzymes active on autoclaved aerobacter cells by Myxococcus virescens , strain B2, was studied In Casamino acids media. By modification of the N III–B media of Norén to a higher concentration of casamino acids and to a lower content of sodium chloride, the maximal production of lytic exoenzymes could be increased at least four times. Too high a concentration of casamino acids (more than 17 g/1) and sodium chloride (30 mM), as well as too low a concentration of sodium chloride, inhibited the enzyme production.
