In vitro study of the antibacterial effect of the bacteriophage T5 thermostable endolysin on Escherichia coli cells.AIMS
 The endolysin was found to be a thermostable protein: it retained ~65% of its initial activity after heating for 30 min at 90°C.  Examining the curves of its thermal denaturation revealed the half-transition temperature to be 56·3 ± 1·0°C.  The study of thermal stability of the bacteriophage T5 endolysin and the quantified assessment of its antimicrobial activity have been done for the first time.
