Antibacterial gene transfer across the tree of life [PDF]
eLife, 2014 Though horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is widespread, genes and taxa experience biased rates of transferability. Curiously, independent transmission of homologous DNA to archaea, bacteria, eukaryotes, and viruses is extremely rare and often defies ...

Extracellular and cellular distribution of muramidase-2 and muramidase-1 of Enterococcus hirae ATCC 9790 [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1992 A substantial portion of the second peptidoglycan hydrolase (muramidase-2) activity of Enterococcus hirae ATCC 9790 (formerly Streptococcus faecium) is present in the supernatant culture medium. In contrast, nearly all muramidase-1 activity is associated with cells in the latent, proteinase-activatable form.
