Abstract: KEY MESSAGE Homologous genes for the peptidoglycan precursor flippase MurJ, and peptidoglycan hydrolases: lytic transglycosylase MltB, and DD-carboxypeptidase VanY are required for chloroplast division in the moss Physcomitrella patens. The moss Physcomitrella patens is used as… read more here.

Abstract: Staphylococcus aureus is an opportunistic pathogen causing high morbidity and mortality. Since multi-drug resistant S. aureus lineages are nowadays omnipresent, alternative tools for preventive or therapeutic interventions, like immunotherapy, are urgently needed. However, there are… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.1036964
Abstract: Bacterial cell walls are the guards of cell integrity. They are composed of peptidoglycan that provides rigidity to sustain internal turgor and ensures isolation from the external environment. In addition, they harbor the enzymatic machinery… read more here.
