Lytic enzymes associated with defective prophages of Bacillus subtilis: Sequencing and characterization of the region comprising the N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase gene of prophage PBSX [PDF]
Microbiology, 1994 Prophage induction in Bacillus subtilis strains 168, S31 and W23 is accompanied by synthesis of two endolysins. The synthesis of those of strain 168, with molecular masses of 32 and 34 kDa, was shown to be controlled by the repressor of the defective phage PBSX.

N-Acetyimuramoyl-l-alkaline Amidase of Escherichia coli K12
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1983 Various experiments were carried out in an attempt to determine the possible physiological function of the N‐acetylmuramoyl‐l‐alanine amidase purified from Eschrrichia coli K12 on the basis of its activity on N‐acetyl‐muramoyl‐l‐alanyl‐d‐7‐glutamyl‐meso‐diaminopimelic acid [MurNAc‐lAla‐dGlu(msA2pm)].
