Notes:
The term “autolysis” was introduced into biological literature by SALKOVSKY [1]. Ever since it began to be used to designate self-digestion of cells under the action of their own intracellular enzymes. This definition is sufficiently satisfactory with regard to bacteria, and there are published lots of original and review papers dealing specifically with bacteria. Considerably less material has been accumulated on eukaryotes, apparently due to the absence of the fact of the cell self-digestion in most yeasts.
