Characterization of a new twortlikevirus infecting Staphylococcus epidermidis that exhibits activity against biofilm and stationary bacterial populations [PDF]

, 2016
Staphylococcus epidermidis is a major causative agent of nosocomial infections, mainly associated with the use of indwelling devices, on which this bacterium forms structures known as biofilms.

Catalysis by hen egg-white lysozyme proceeds via a covalent intermediate [PDF]

, 2001
Hen egg-white lysozyme (HEWL) was the first enzyme to have its three-dimensional structure determined by X-ray diffraction techniques(1). A catalytic mechanism, featuring a long-lived oxo-carbenium-ion intermediate, was proposed on the basis of model ...

Dual role for the O-acetyltransferase OatA in peptidoglycan modification and control of cell septation in Lactobacillus plantarum.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Until now, peptidoglycan O-acetyl transferases (Oat) were only described for their peptidoglycan O-acetylating activity and for their implication in the control of peptidoglycan hydrolases.

Antibacterial Gene Transfer Across the Tree of Life [PDF]

, 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 ...

FtsZ-independent septal recruitment and function of cell wall remodelling enzymes in chlamydial pathogens. [PDF]

, 2014
The nature and assembly of the chlamydial division septum is poorly defined due to the paucity of a detectable peptidoglycan (PG)-based cell wall, the inhibition of constriction by penicillin and the presence of coding sequences for cell wall precursor ...
