Cloning, characterization, and functional expression in Escherichia coli of argH encoding argininosuccinate lyase in the cyanobacterium Nostoc sp. strain PCC 73102.

abstract：:Lysozyme is an important and widespread component of the innate immune response that constitutes the first line of defense against bacterial pathogens. The bactericidal effect of this enzyme relies on its capacity to hydrolyze the bacterial cell wall and also on a nonenzymatic mechanism involving its cationic antimicr...
