The active repertoire of <i>Escherichia coli</i> peptidoglycan amidases varies with physiochemical environment

2020-10-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Nearly all bacteria are encased in a peptidoglycan cell wall, an essential crosslinked matrix of polysaccharide strands and short peptide stems. In the Gram-negative model organism Escherichia coli , more than forty cell wall synthases and autolysins coordinate the growth and division of the peptidoglycan sacculus in the periplasm. The precise contribution of many of these enzymes to cell wall...
