Characterization of PlyB221 and PlyP32, Two Novel Endolysins Encoded by Phages Preying on the <i>Bacillus cereus</i> Group

Endolysins are phage-encoded enzymes implicated in the breaching of the bacterial cell wall at the end of the viral cycle. This study focuses on the endolysins of Deep-Blue (PlyB221) and Deep-Purple (PlyP32), two phages preying on the <i>Bacillus cereus</i> group. Both enzymes exhibit a...
