Heat Stable Nuclease in Mastitic Milk

Abstract

The production of a heat stable nuclease (deoxyribonuclease) by Staphylococcus aureus was first reported by Cunningham et al. (1956). The detection of the enzyme was simplified by Lachica et al. (1971), who developed an agar diffusion test based on the metachromatic properties of toluidine blue.
