The effect of human lysozyme on two common species of bacteria A and B was

investigated at two different values of pH.

The investigation was set up as shown in Fig 4.1.

The test-tubes were kept at 37o C for 24 hours.

a further 24 hours to allow any bacteria to grow.

The results are shown in Fig. 4.2
