Abstract excerpt
Regular surface protein layers (S-layers) from most Gram-positive bacteria and from the ancestral bacterium Thermus thermophilus attach to pyruvylated polysaccharides (SCWP) covalently bound to the peptidoglycan through their SLH domain. However, it is not known whether the synthesis of SCWP and S-layer is coordinated enough as to follow a similar pattern of incorporation to the cell wall during growth. In this...
