| Results showed that all the isolates produced P-hemolysis on rabbit blood agar, lecithinase, proteinase, and gelatinase, but DNase and lipase were not produced. |
| Phospholipase and lecithinase are hemolysins that act synergistically to break down lipids and lecithin. |
| Agar diffusion tests made on mediums supplemented with different fat sources showed that all strains don't have lecithinase activity, neither lipolytic activity. |
| Although lecithinase activity has been investigated in a variety of plants 1-6, the occurrence of lecithinases in chloroplasts has not been reported before. |
| The organisms also grew on chocolate agar and were positive for catalase and lecithinase. |
