abstract：:Plasmids for the high-level overproduction of wild-type, and C- and N-terminal His-tagged MurG N-acetylglucosaminyl transferase from Escherichia coli were constructed. In complementation tests the three forms were active in vivo. After IPTG induction, growth, spheroplast formation and lysis, overproduced MurG proteins...
