Funding Information:
This work was funded by a Wellcome Trust PhD studentship (215025/Z/18/Z) to E.J.B., a Becas Chile studentship (72180329) to M.V-D., a BBSRC studentship to A.W., and the UKRI Strategic Priorities Fund ( https://www.ukri.org ) EP/T002778/1 to W.V. R.E.S., C.L., and A.L.L. are currently funded by a Wellcome Trust Investigator Award in Science (209437/Z/17/Z). We thank Chloe Hudson for trials of Bd1075 purification, Daniela Vollmer for purification of PG, Joe Gray for mass spectrometry analysis of muropeptides, Rob Till for general laboratory support, and Block Allocation Group mx19880 for access to Diamond Synchrotron. Genome sequencing was provided by MicrobesNG ( http://www.microbesng.uk ), which is supported by the BBSRC (grant number BB/L024209/1). Electron microscopy was carried out at the Nanoscale and Microscale Research Centre at the University of Nottingham.
