During growth and division, the bacterial cell wall is remodeled, resulting in the liberation of peptidoglycan (PG) fragments which are typically reinternalized and recycled. Recycling of PG has been studied in a few model species, but its importance and diversity are not yet well understood. Here, we review how bacteria transport and recycle the components of their PG, highlighting updates and new findings.
