Abstract excerpt
To study the functional differences between penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) 1A and 1B, as well as their recently postulated involvement in the septation process (F. García del Portillo, M. A. de Pedro, D. Joseleau-Petit, and R. D'Ari, J. Bacteriol. 171:4217-4221, 1989), a series of isogenic strains with mutations in the genes coding for PBP 1A (ponA) or PBP 1B (ponB) or in the cell division-specific genes...
