Enzymes and Mechanisms Employed by Tailed Bacteriophages to Breach the Bacterial Cell Barriers
Monoderm bacteria possess a cell envelope made of a cytoplasmic membrane and a cell wall, whereas diderm bacteria have and extra lipid layer, the outer membrane, covering the cell wall. Both cell types can also produce extracellular protective coats composed of polymeric substances like, for example...
