Abstract excerpt
Glycine has been used extensively in bacterial cell surface research. Some researchers employ glycine in growth media so as to increase the transformability of streptococci during electroporation. Others have found that glycine, similar to wall antibiotics, 'weakens' peptidoglycan. It is now shown that when glycine is incorporated into the growth medium, Streptococcus sobrinus exhibits a diminished ability to...
