The Cell Wall Hydrolytic NlpC/P60 Endopeptidases in Mycobacterial Cytokinesis: A Structural Perspective
In preparation for division, bacteria replicate their DNA and segregate the newly formed chromosomes.A division septum then assembles between the chromosomes, and the mother cell splits into two Accessories identical daughters due to septum degradation.A major constituent of bacterial septa and of the whole cell wall is peptidoglycan (PGN), an esse
