Analysis of Peptidoglycan Structural Changes and Cortex Lytic Enzymes during Germination of<i> Bacillus anthracis</i> Spores
… in spore germination is hydrolysis of the cortex peptidoglycan. This process has been studied in a variety of sporulating species; however, it has not been studied in <i>Bacillus anthracis</i>. A clear understanding of cortex degradation may provide information that will allow for better …

Characterization of the Bacillus anthracis SleL Protein and its Role in Spore Germination
… a protective layer of peptidoglycan known as the cortex must be depolymerized by germination-specific lytic enzymes (GSLEs) before the bacterium can become a metabolically active vegetative cell. By exploiting cortex lytic enzymes it may be possible to control germination. This could be beneficial …

Molecular analyses of YhcN/YlaJ and spore-associated proteins involved in germination of Bacillus cereus spores
… depolymerisation concerns the function of hybrid cortex lytic enzymes. Mother-cell expressed SleB and forespore-expressed SleB-CwlJ hybrid proteins are capable of efficient cortex hydrolysis during germination and, additionally, can be activated by exogenous CaDPA. Activation of SleB by CaDPA has …
