A Secreted NlpC/P60 Endopeptidase from Photobacterium damselae subsp. <i>piscicida</i> Cleaves the Peptidoglycan of Potentially Competing Bacteria

Peptidoglycan (PG) is a major component of the bacterial cell wall formed by long chains of two alternating sugars interconnected by short peptides, generating a mesh-like structure that enwraps the bacterial cell. Although PG provides structural integrity and support for anchoring other...
