Lysobacter enzymogenes is a Gram-negative, gliding bacterium renowned for its exceptional production of extracellular lytic enzymes including proteases and beta-glucanases. It inhabits soil environments globally and is studied for its biocontrol potential against plant pathogens. This predatory bacterium feeds on other microorganisms by enzymatic lysis.
