Peptidoglycan recycling mediated by an ABC transporter in the plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens
Some bacteria use the muropeptide transporter AmpG for uptake and recycling of cell wall fragments that are released during cell growth and division. Here, Gilmore & Cava show that the plant pathogen Agrobacterium tumefaciens, which lacks an AmpG homologue, uses a different type of transporter f...
