Many years later (again not exactly sure how long) the riptide
Hopefully, Wizards doesn screw it up somehow. Hmm. Nevermind, ]I don even think it takes streamer intervention. We find that during exponential growth, Sp cells primarily produce lipid anchored TAs called lipoteichoic acids (LTAs) that bind and sequester the major autolysin LytA. However, penicillin treatment or prolonged stationary phase growth triggers the degradation of a key LTA synthase, causing a switch to the production of wall anchored TAs (WTAs). This change allows LytA to associate with and degrade its cell.
