The bacterial cell wall is composed of a highly crosslinked matrix of glycopeptide polymers
known as peptidoglycan that dictates bacterial cell morphology and protects against …

Bacterial cells are encased in a peptidoglycan (PG) exoskeleton that protects them from
osmotic lysis and specifies their distinct shapes. Cell wall hydrolases are required to enlarge …

Most bacteria surround themselves with a cell wall, a strong meshwork consisting primarily
of the polymerized aminosugar peptidoglycan (PG). PG is essential for structural …

The peptidoglycan is the key structural component of the bacterial cell wall that rests outside
the cytoplasmic membrane and provides bacterial cells with physical strength and shape. It …

Cellulose is one of the most abundant and renewable biomass products used for the
production of bioethanol. Cellulose can be efficiently hydrolyzed by Bacillus subtilis VS15, a …

Many bacteria adapt their physiology and enter the viable but non-culturable state to survive
prolonged exposure to adverse environmental conditions. The VBNC cells maintain active …

The peptidoglycan hydrolases responsible for the cell separation of Bacillus subtilis cells are
collectively referred to as autolysins. However, the role of each autolysin in the cell …

Penicillin and related antibiotics disrupt cell wall synthesis in bacteria causing the
downstream misactivation of cell wall hydrolases called autolysins to induce cell lysis …

Lytic enzymes play an essential role in the remodeling of bacterial peptidoglycan (PG), an
extracellular mesh-like structure that retains the membrane in the context of high internal …

Most bacteria are encased into a load-bearing rigid framework, the cell wall (CW). The
peptidoglycan (PG) layer, a network composed of glycan strands cross-linked by stem …
