Two new enzymes that liberate undecaprenyl-phosphate to replenish the carrier lipid pool during envelope stress

mBio
The 55-carbon isoprenoid, undecaprenyl-phosphate (UndP), is a universal carrier lipid that ferries most glycans and glycopolymers across the cytoplasmic membrane in bacteria.

EnvC Homolog Encoded by Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri Is Necessary for Cell Division and Virulence

Microorganisms
Peptidoglycan hydrolases are enzymes responsible for breaking the peptidoglycan present in the bacterial cell wall, facilitating cell growth, cell division and peptidoglycan turnover. Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (X.

Comprehensive analysis of peptidoglycan hydrolases in Caulobacter crescentus

, 2016
The peptidoglycan (PG) sacculus is a large macromolecule enclosing most bacterial cells. During progression of the cell cycle, it needs to be continuously remodelled to enable elongation of the cell body and, finally, cell division.

Two-step localization driven by peptidoglycan hydrolase in interbacterial predation

The ISME Journal
Abstract Mechanisms of bacterial predation are crucial for revealing microbial adaptation strategies and interaction behaviors in the environment, yet they remain poorly understood. Previously, predators were reported to localize prey via specific cues.
