I have 2 test tubes labeled “Strep E” and “Strep E Buffer”
The “Strep E” test tube contains “Staphylococcus Epidermidis and Lysozyme”
The “Strep E Buffer” test tube contains “Staphylococcus Epidermidis and a Buffercontrol”
I understand how Lysozyme breaks down peptidoglycan in the “Strep E” test tube
So my question is
Why is the “Strep E Buffer” test tube that contains no Lysozyme useful in this experiment?
How can it be used as a comparison?
Thanks
