Hypothetical lytic transglycosylase SleB is important for cell fitness in <i>Zymomonas mobilis</i>

2026-07-21

Abstract excerpt

Bacterial peptidoglycan (PG) undergoes a variety of chemical modifications. O-acetylation at the C6 hydroxyl group of N -acetylmuramic acid is a widespread PG-modification found across diverse bacterial phyla. It contributes to virulence in pathogenic bacteria because the O-acetyl group reduces the activity of the PG-degrading host defense enzyme, lysozyme. Beyond its role in host defense evasion, recent studies...
