[Effect of exogenous nucleodepolymerases on Bacillus subtilis multiplication].

The effect of exogenous nucleodepolymerases on cell growth was studied with Bacillus subtilis. Nucleodepolymerases of microbial and animal origin stimulated growth of the culture. The stimulating action of DNAases depended on the dose of the enzyme added to the growth medium and on the phase of the cultural growth. Acceleration of the cultural growth correlated with intensification of DNA synthesis in the bacterial cells.
