Characterization of a novel cell wall hydrolase CwlE involved in Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis mother cell lysis

Cell wall hydrolases are ubiquitous among spore-form bacteria and essential for mother cell lysis. In this study, a novel cell wall hydrolase gene cwlE involved in mother cell lysis was characterized from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis (Bti) strain Bt-59. cwlE was specifically expressed i...
