Analysis of the Roles of the cwlD Operon Products during Sporulation in Bacillus subtilis

CwlD has sequence similarities to N-acetyl muramoyl-L-alanine amidases, a class of enzymes known to cleave the bond between the peptide side chain and the N-acetyl muramic acid residue in cortex peptidoglycan formation during sporulation. A major difference between vegetative peptidoglycan and spore...
