Cell wall peptidoglycan architecture in Bacillus subtilis.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 23 Sept 2008

Hayhurst Emma J, Kailas Lekshmi, Hobbs Jamie K, Foster Simon J

Abstract excerpt

The bacterial cell wall is essential for viability and shape determination. Cell wall structural dynamics allowing growth and division, while maintaining integrity is a basic problem governing the life of bacteria. The polymer peptidoglycan is the main structural component for most bacteria and is made up of glycan strands that are cross-linked by peptide side chains. Despite study and speculation over many...
