Abstract excerpt

In cultures of certain streptococcal strains, RNA added as a carrier for streptolysin S (SLS) was hardly degraded, owing to deficiency of extracellular RNase activity. Production of RNA-SLS into culture supernatant was markedly reduced in the RNase-deficient streptococci. Even in these RNase-less...
