Abstract excerpt
Cells of a mutant of Listeria monocytogenes lacking functional PBP5, an enzyme with DD-carboxypeptidase activity, make thicker cells walls. In this study we show that the muropeptide profile of the mutant, obtained after HPLC analysis of a muramidase digest of cell wall murein, differs from that for the wild type strain. The main differences embrace strongly reduced disaccharide-tripeptide content, strongly...
