An Amidase_3 domain-containing N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanine amidase is required for mycobacterial cell division
Abstract Mycobacteria possess a multi-layered cell wall that requires extensive remodelling during cell division. We investigated the role of an amidase_3 domain-containing N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanine amidase, a peptidoglycan remodelling enzyme implicated in cell division. We demonstrated that deletio...
