If lysozyme is added to a microbial culture. Predict what will be observed if the culture is affected by the action of lysozyme. A change in color will be visible in the tube. An increase in absorbance will be observed over time. A decrease in absorbance will be observed over time. An increase in turbidity will be observed over time.
