Polylysine

Polylysine subjected to several quality of lysine homopolymers, which may differ from regarded and noted separately. other in terms of stereochemistry as alive as link position.

Production

Production of polylysine by natural fermentation is only observed in strains of bacteria in a genus Streptomyces. Streptomyces albulus is almost often used in scientific studies and is also used for the commercial production of ε-polylysine.

α-Polylysine is synthetically submitted by a basic polycondensation reaction.
