Abstract

PRELIMINARY work on the biochemical effects induced by pancreatic ribonuclease on Bacillus cereus cells led us to investigate the normal level of RNase at different growth stages. It is a well-established fact that bacterial cells form intra- as well as extra-cellular ribonucleases, but the information concerning their role is meagre1–3.
