Commercial ethanol fermentation facilities traditionally rely on antibiotics for bacterial contamination control. Here we demonstrate an alternative approach to treat contamination using a novel peptidoglycan hydrolase (LysKB317) isolated from a bacteriophage, EcoSau. This endolysin was specially selected against strains that were isolated as contaminants from a fuel ethanol plant. The LysKB317 gene was recombinantly expressed in as a 33kDa purified enzyme. In turbidity reduction assays, the recombinant enzyme was subjected to a panel
