The Sigma Enzymatic Assay for Lyticase utilizes Baker’s yeast as the substrate, following the protocol outlined below:

While brewer’s yeast may be a suitable alternative, it is not guaranteed to exhibit identical behavior. Applying the same protocol is a reasonable starting point; however, experimental validation is strongly recommended to ensure reliable and reproducible results.
Also, 1U of 04963 Sigma-Aldrich Lyticase from Bacillus subtilis corresponds to the amount of enzyme which decreases the absorbance at 800 nm by 0.001 per minute at pH 7.5 and 25 °C (Yeast, Cat. No. 51475, as substrate).
