Recent progress in our understanding of peptidoglycan assembly in Firmicutes

Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved..

Years of intense research have shown that the assembly of peptidoglycan, the extracellular mesh-like polymer surrounding the bacterial cell, is incredibly complex. It requires a suite of reactions catalyzed by dynamic macromolecular protein complexes whose localization and activity should be finely regulated in space and time. In this review, we focus on the main developments reported over the last five years for the assembly of peptidoglycan in Firmicutes, a bacterial phylum that comprises monoderm bacteria and that encompasses well studied bacterial models with different cell shapes and lifestyles.
