Lytic transglycosylases cut peptidoglycan backbones, facilitating a variety of functions within bacteria, including cell division, pathogenesis, and insertion of macromolecular machinery into the cell envelope. Here, we identify a novel role of a sec... Read More about An MltA-Like Lytic Transglycosylase Secreted by Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus Cleaves the Prey Septum during Predatory Invasion.
