Quantitative analysis of nuclease, protease, and coagulase production^a

Strain	Production
	Proteaseb	Nucleasec	Coagulased
Becker	2.48 ± 0.37	0.490 ± 0.181	100 ± 0
CYL5614	0.53 ± 0.92	0.632 ± 0.180	14.8 ± 17.0
CYL1040	3.33 ± 0.33	0.013 ± 0.023	100 ± 0

^aAll data are averages (± standard deviations) of three independent experiments.

^bProtease production was analyzed by measuring depletion of 3 mg of azocasein/ml in 17 h, monitored by OD₃₄₀.

^cNuclease production was analyzed by measuring depletion of 5 mg of salmon sperm DNA/ml monitored by OD₂₆₀.

^dCoagulase was measured by a tube coagulation test of threefold serial dilution samples. The numbers represent the highest dilution and are standardized by setting the activity of Becker as 100.
