Characterization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa l,d-Transpeptidases and Evaluation of Their Role in Peptidoglycan Adaptation to Biofilm Growth

ABSTRACT Peptidoglycan is an essential component of the bacterial cell envelope that sustains the turgor pressure of the cytoplasm, determines cell shape, and acts as a scaffold for the anchoring of envelope polymers such as lipoproteins. The final cross-linking step of peptidoglycan polymerization...
