Bacterial endogenous autolysins are involved in different physi- ological functions that require bacterial cell wall remodeling, such as cell wall expansion, peptidoglycan turnover, daughter cell separation, sporulation, germination, peptidoglycan recycling, and/or autolysis [9–11]. Phage-derived endo...
Bending deformation of this single-crystalline bimorph causes the expansion of one domain and contraction of its counterpart. The voltages induced in the domains by the direct piezoelectric effect are added up; they are proportional to the bending magnitude at a fixed frequency. An example of the...
