AI Article Synopsis
- Bacterial cell walls undergo remodeling during growth and division, leading to the release of peptidoglycan (PG) fragments.
- These PG fragments are usually reinternalized and recycled by the bacteria, but the significance and variations in this process are not fully understood.
- The review focuses on recent studies of how bacteria transport and recycle PG components, presenting new insights and updates in the field.
Article Abstract
During growth and division, the bacterial cell wall is remodeled, resulting in the liberation of peptidoglycan (PG) fragments which are typically reinternalized and recycled. Recycling of PG has been studied in a few model species, but its importance and diversity are not yet well understood. Here, we review how bacteria transport and recycle the components of their PG, highlighting updates and new findings.
