Loss of O-antigen increases cell shape abnormalities in penicillin-binding protein mutants of Escherichia coli.

FEMS microbiology letters - 1 Oct 2006

Ghosh Anindya S, Melquist Amy L, Young Kevin D

Abstract excerpt

Escherichia coli mutants lacking multiple penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) produce aberrantly shaped cells. However, most of these experiments have been performed in E. coli K12 strains, which do not attach a complete O-antigen to their outer membrane lipopolysaccharide. We constructed mutants in different genetic backgrounds and found that the frequency of morphological deformities was higher in strains...
