Identification of the chain-dispersing peptidoglycan hydrolase LytB of Streptococcus gordonii.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2017

Arrigucci Riccardo, Pozzi Gianni

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial cell division ends with the separation of the daughter cells, a process that requires peptidoglycan hydrolases (PGHs). Bacteria lacking cell separating PGHs are impaired in cell separation with the formation of long chains or clusters. We identified a gene in Streptococcus gordonii encoding for a putative glucosaminidase (lytB). The lytB isogenic mutant grew in long bacterial chains and resulted in...
