This study characterizes LdtRj8, an LDT enzyme from Rhizobium johnstonii, showing pH-dependent activity and broad amino acid substrate specificity, which may explain muropeptide isomerism and bacterial adaptation to acidic environments.

This study identifies 33 distinct domain architectures of prophage endolysins from enterococci, including a novel cell wall-binding domain, to expand the diversity of potential enzybiotics against multidrug-resistant infections.
