Here we identify and characterize ArmA from Methanobrevibacter smithii, a dominant member of the human gut microbiome9, as the first glycosyl hydrolase specific for archaeal PG. ... We further demonstrate that ArmA is required to complete cytokinesis, cleaving archaeal PG at the site of cell division.
