Insights into the Function of the N-Acetyltransferase SatA That Detoxifies Streptothricin in Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus anthracis.

abstract：:Receptors on the cell surfaces of bacterial hosts are essential during the infection cycle of bacteriophages. To date, the phage receptors of the industrial relevant dairy starter bacterium Streptococcus thermophilus remain elusive. Thus, we set out to identify cell surface structures that are involved in host recogni...
