Autoradiographic analysis of diaminopimelic acid incorporation in filamentous cells of Escherichia coli: repression of peptidoglycan synthesis around the nucleoid.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Aug 1991

Abstract excerpt

Peptidoglycan synthesis rate in nonconstricting filaments of Escherichia coli dnaX(Ts) has been studied by autoradiography of incorporated [3H]diaminopimelic acid. Analysis of autoradiograms of whole cells and sacculi showed that peptidoglycan is synthesized at a reduced rate in the nucleoid-cont...
