Bacterial cell wall degradation is a key technique that disrupts peptidoglycan and its outer structures through enzymatic, chemical, or physically assisted methods, allowing cellular contents to be released or enabling the formation of protoplasts/spheroplasts. This technology is commonly used ...
Cell wall polysaccharide-degrading enzymes are mainly used to lyse plant cell walls, fungal cell walls, bacterial peptidoglycan, and microbial extracellular polysaccharide matrices. Common enzyme types include cellulase, pectinase, xylanase, chitinase, β-glucanase, lysozyme, and various ...
