Most bacteria have multiple peptidoglycan hydrolases capable of cleaving covalent bonds in
peptidoglycan sacculi or its fragments. An overview of the different classes of peptidoglycan …

The cell wall (CW) of bacteria is an intricate arrangement of macromolecules, at least
constituted of peptidoglycan (PG) but also of (lipo) teichoic acids, various polysaccharides …

Peptidoglycan (PG) is the major structural component of the bacterial cell wall. Bacteria have
autolytic PG hydrolases that allow the cell to grow and divide. A well-studied group of PG …

The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a powerful tool deployed by Gram-negative bacteria
to antagonize neighboring organisms. Here, we report that Acinetobacter baumannii ATCC …

During bacterial cytokinesis, hydrolytic enzymes are used to split wall material shared by
adjacent daughter cells to promote their separation. Precise control over these enzymes is …

Bacterial peptidoglycan (PG or murein) is a single, large, covalently cross‐linked
macromolecule and forms a mesh‐like sacculus that completely encases the cytoplasmic …

Bacterial cytokinesis is coupled to the localized synthesis of new peptidoglycan (PG) at the
division site. This newly generated septal PG is initially shared by the daughter cells. In …

Bacteria of the genus Staphylococcus are common pathogens responsible for a broad
spectrum of human and animal infections and belong to the most important etiological …

Remodelling of the peptidoglycan (PG) exoskeleton is intimately tied to the growth and
division of bacteria. Enzymes that hydrolyse PG are critical for these processes, but their …

Enzymes that degrade the peptidoglycan (PG) cell wall layer called PG hydrolases or
autolysins are often thought of as destructive forces. Phages employ them to lyse their host …
