Unveiling Unusual Features of Formation of Septal Partition and Constriction in Mycobacteria—an Ultrastructural Study
19 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
The ultrastructural functions of the electron-dense glycopeptidolipid-containing outermost layer (OL), the arabinogalactan-mycolic acid-containing electron-transparent layer (ETL), and the electron-dense peptidoglycan layer (PGL) of the mycobacterial cell wall in septal growth and constriction are not clear. Therefore, using transmission electron microscopy, we studied the participation of the three layers in...
