Biodegradable Plastic Mulch Films: Impacts on Soil Microbial Communities and Ecosystem Functions.

abstract：:Peptidoglycan (PG) is an essential molecule for the survival of bacteria, and thus, its biosynthesis and remodeling have always been in the spotlight when it comes to the development of antibiotics. The peptidoglycan polymer provides a protective function in bacteria, but at the same time is continuously subjected to ...
