A study of the coccoid form and the autolysins of <i>Campylobacter upsaliensis</i>
… form rather than part of a life cycle. The autolysins of spiral and coccoid forms of <i>C. upsaliensis</i> were also studied. Autolytic activity in the soluble and sediment fractions of sonicates of the spiral and the coccoid form of <i>C. upsaliensis</i> could not be demonstrated by native …

Evaluating The Impact of Post-Translational Modifications By The Secreted Zinc Metalloprotease, Gele, On The Major Autolysin of E. Faecalis, Atla, and A Stress-Induced Protein, Salb
<p>AtlA is the major peptidoglycan hydrolase of <em>E. faecalis</em> involved in cell separation of dividing cells. SalB is a secreted stress-induced protein regulated by the CroRS system. In addition, these two proteins also appear to be affected by the virulence factor, gelatinase (GelE). GelE is …

Nuclear Transformation of Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii to Allow for Studies on Circadian Expression of the β-Tubulin Gene
… presence of exogenous DNA, cell wall-digesting autolysin, glass beads and polyethylene glycol. Autolysin had been harvested successfully during mating of two different mating type strains, the optimal antibiotic concentration in the selection medium had been determined and other components of …

Genetic studies on Clostridium acetobutylicum
… Autolysis-deficient mutants which produced less autolysin than the parent strain were isolated. Growth of the P262 strain and the lyt-1 mutant was inhibited by the same concentrations of wall-inhibiting antibiotics.

Development of a novel co-vaccination approach for pneumococcal and influenza infections
… strain Rx1 with an unmarked deletion of the autolysin gene and with the pneumolysin gene replaced with an allele encoding a non-toxic pneumolysoid. Intranasal administration of mice with γ-PN without an adjuvant was shown to elicit serotype-independent protection against pneumococcal …

Mode of Action of Penicillin in Pneumococci: From Inhibition of Cellular Targets to Bacterial Death
… the unregulated (suicidal) activity of bacterial autolysins. On the other hand, in certain bacteria, penicillin can have powerful bactericidal activity without accompanying cell lysis (e.g., pneumococcal mutants with inactivated amidase (lytA) gene and group A streptococci), suggesting that …
