This study identifies a novel peptidoglycan recycling pathway in mycobacteria that bypasses typical intermediates, revealing metabolic flexibility in cell wall recycling.

This study shows that AmgK, a peptidoglycan kinase in Legionella pneumophila, is essential for intracellular survival and replication in host macrophages, highlighting its role in pathogenicity and potential as a drug target.

The paper develops a chitin labeling method to study hyphal growth and homeostasis in Candida species, revealing mechanisms of morphological switching and potential antifungal targets.
