Role of peptidoglycan amidases in the development and morphology of the division septum in Escherichia coli.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jul 2007

Priyadarshini Richa, de Pedro Miguel A, Young Kevin D

Abstract excerpt

Escherichia coli contains multiple peptidoglycan-specific hydrolases, but their physiological purposes are poorly understood. Several mutants lacking combinations of hydrolases grow as chains of unseparated cells, indicating that these enzymes help cleave the septum to separate daughter cells after cell division. Here, we confirm previous observations that in the absence of two or more amidases, thickened and...
